re: "Anavex clinical trial data"

We're not really waiting for data, per se, we're waiting for the results of detailed analysis.

After initial discovery of a few planets orbitting nearby stars, there was strong expectation of finding more, but uncertainty of how many more would turn up in a more extended search. NASA experts recently confirmed the detection of another 1200 or so exo-planets as a result of analyzing existing raw data on the narrow section of space being observed, but it nevertheless took them months (and they have some pretty fancy computers).

The point being that scientific analysis to establish the existance of something that is implied by a series of measurements can take a lot more time than it would if the phenomona could be experienced directly. Just like we can't visit the newly discovered planets, we aren't the people being treated in the study and able to know fitst-hand, but instead will need to rely on a studied interpretation of observed facts, by, I imagine, well paid professionals with high self esteem, who can't be rushed. :)
