RE: Length of time re trials28 May 2024 05:41
No one complained about how long it takes. The issue is the misleading guidance by the company. Specifically, why did the CEO tell us that with only 16 patients recruited after 2 years (excluding covid period) in September 2023, we would have finished recruitment of 43 by EOY 2023. Do you think the CEO had no idea of the difficulties, has poor deductive logic, or intentionally mislead us because they knew they would ask for cash soon after? Take your pick.
Also, with 27 patients currently recruited, and given the same difficulties that everyone is so superficially eloquent about "reminding", how is the trial going to be complete by Q3/Q4 2024 when we need minimum 3 months for the first readout after the last patient of the 43 has been recruited. Same questions applies as above.
Finally, why did they give an update with only 2 additional patients in November 2023, when the trial had already passed to the second stage (Simon's) with the data we had in September 2023 while it hasn't provided a single update since when surely there is data to report for far more than 2 additional patients? What makes this even worse is that a positive update would have helped with recruitment as well. For example it took us 2 years to get to 16 patients and then 8 months to get to 27 and I think the positive press back then had a positive impact on recruitment. So why not give another update in 2024 to keep the momentum going?
All that superficial talk about the difficulties of trials, genetics of the patients are not incorrect but also do not answer the question why has the company gave such misleading guidance (surely they understand the difficulties as well) when previous recruitment data of the same trial did not support their claims and why has it failed to at least explain themselves and update with proper guidance.
So instead of writting generic and irrelevant to the issue posts here, why don't you email the company to ask them to update ALL of us. I have and they haven't replied. Have you?
