Timeline thoughts. I'm posting here since this is a more rational IPIX board. Everything is progressing at an appropriate pace. Today's PR was a fine update, it clarified whether we're in a recruitment phase or a treatment phase and the answer is BOTH. The nature of covid means that once you successfully recruit a participant, treatment begins immediately. This isn't like a trial for the vaccine where you have people champing at the bit to participate and can almost immediately recruit your participants. These are hospitalized covid patients who may die. Recruitment is going to take time because each participant will be green-lighting a 50/50 chance that they won't actually be treated and will be given a placebo. Further, the patient, whose life is on the line, is a lab animal at that point--they don't know what the treatment is and must consider that the treatment may actually have detrimental effects on them. Recruitment is going to be difficult. In the next update, I would like to know how many people they've treated thus far. If I recall correctly, they provided these numbers during the oral mucoscitis trial from a couple of years ago. A lot of people assume that all 120 patients began treatment the first week of Feb and are expecting results now. That simply isn't likely to be the case. So I think we need to give this time to play out, hopefully with outstanding results and lives saved. I think we'll know in a month to 6 weeks from today, this will be clarified if we get progress reports from IPIX mgmt along the way.
