Chris,
Please realise I start from the premise of not knowing anything. I make assumptions based on my experience.
My experience in all aim stocks is that CEO's are not fulsome in their communications and it is often what they don't say as to be the most revealing. (I am dancing on the head of a pin not to say they deliberately mislead).
Through the whole LFT saga it gave a clear MO of how AVCT communicated and that was replicated in the AVA6k trial. Therefore it was not only not a surprise when they missed self-imposed deadlines but I expected it. (and so it proved to be.)
From there it is easy to see if it runs over time that could cause funding problems. To me this was as clear as the nose on your face. The fact that so many here could not see it and still don't, does not affect my thinking.
CC has come in, ok: Is their a change in comms? Why did AS leave?
P1b may well finish as scheduled but there is no historical precedent that says it will be, so I will assume it will run late.
And not for nothing, when did YOU expect P1b dosing to start? I would bet it was not as late as March 2025.
(I don't know, but I was surprised that it took 6-9 months to find patients to enter P1b trial so as to start dosing given the extra safety profile of the P1a stage.)
My thinking is, there was and still remains some ambiguity in the P1a results which is why they changed the cancers they wanted to test P1b on. In turn this changed or maybe accelerated the new pipeline. (The fact that it will be a year after P1a finished before we get an update to me is another red flag. I think they hope early P1b data will be so much better in efficacy that it will make P1a results moot. But its just another guess).
I have to say none of this "bothers" me. AVCT it seems to me, are learning as they go. Its just that I don't like having to try to piece it all together through my own guesswork that may sometimes be correct but sometimes not, because AVCT are so continually opaque and ambiguous with their partial updates.
And always realise, that is deliberate. So then it follows... why be like that if you don't have to? Why not shout from the rooftops to every scientific and MSM outlet whats happening, get it peer reviewed, crack on., if its exceeding expectations?
To me it would suggest there is a "problem/hiccup, call it what you like, because all these delays cause the SP to fall with placings and dilution and undermines market confidence and that is not a position any PLC wants to be in, for any reason if it can be avoided.
Anyway, Like I said up top,what do I know, only to say my guesswork so far has been better than most here.
