Well, as we know from clinicaltrials.gov, on 08/08/2014, exactly one month before the upcoming quarterly CC, the Estimated Primary Completion date for the Advanced Liver Cancer trial was changed from December 2015 to December 2014. Now it's the same as the Study Completion Date (Last Follow Up). Recall that previously, on 01/10/2014, the Estimated Primary Completion date had been changed from the initial 12/2013 to 12/2015. Apparently something happened between 01/10/2014 and 08/08/2014 that changed the estimate. Perhaps Yopp's presentation 03/14/2014 played a role in this and the remaining 4 patients were finally enrolled into the Phase II portion of the trial between 03/14/2014 (Yopp's "...34 of the 38 intended patients currently enrolled...") and 08/08/2014.

By the way, on the very same day (08/08/2014), the same investigator (UTSW) updated the Start Date for the Advanced Melanoma trial. The start had been indeed delayed by a month so they corrected this field from 03/2014 to 04/2014.

We shall see whether this increased update activity translates into good results.
