Rett Recruitment?

AU
2 sites recruiting 30 patients.
First patient dosed June 6th (49 days ago).
Today, they need just one more (according to the Facebook post).

US
3 sites recruiting 15 patients
First patient dosed March 18th (129 days ago).
Today they need ??


AU has had less than half the time to recruit twice as many patients from 2/3's the sites as the US.

Can't imagine why AU would be (almost) done recuiting, but the US is still not.


Or the US is done but the announcement has not been made. If it were me, I would delay as long as legally possible announcing that enrollment was complete. As soon as that announcement is made, investors/traders calculate the last date of the last dosing of the last patient, and then start worrying about why the data hasn't yet been released. Delaying the enrollment complete announcement builds in the needed time at the end to do the analysis before announcing the top-line results. I think the US is done recruiting, and perhaps they're done dosing (129 days - 49 days = 80 days or 11 weeks) and perhaps they've already started the analysis. They'll wait till the AU is fully enrolled to announce that both trials are fully enrolled. And then the US results will look to be released earlier than expected.
