What I'm saying is that Javitt confirmed it will be the DSMB who is going to review the 102 patient data in their meeting 2 weeks from now (see quote below)... that's new info to me. Yes... it lines up with the 28 days you are referring to, so nothing changed there, but the new info is that the DSMB meeting is the time and place (eliminating some ambiguity)... and so from that perspective, please reevaluate my questions below. Also... Javitt is now seriously anticipating the trial will be stopped, whereas before, it was just a "possibility". There's a lot going on in this one quote:



"The Covid study is moving forward with incredible velocity. We expect to read out the Phase three trial by the end of the year. But, two weeks from now, there's going to be a meeting of the data safety monitoring board (DSMB). And they're going to review the first 102 patients in the trial. They have the potential to see both futility, which we hope they won't see, or perhaps they will see overwhelming evidence of efficacy. Either, which would lead to STOPPING THE TRIAL."

I don't know about you, but I get the sense Javitt is expecting them to stop the trial at the DSMB meeting, due to "overwhelming evidence of efficacy".

QUESTIONS:
Does anyone know exactly what day that DSMB meeting is?

Also... do we think that is the day they will actually stop the trail and make the announcement... OR... is that the day they make the decision and then would need some additional time to prepare the data for an official announcement?

(Trying to nail down a realistic date we should expect to find out the verdict.)
