Yes, I agree. I too want early approval and a phase 4 trial. However, to say that a phase 4 trial is what is meant by “confirmatory” is incorrect. Both phase 3 and phase 4 are confirmatory trials.

See: Making a medicine. Step 8: Confirmatory studies
Phase III clinical studies, or confirmatory studies, are the final confirmation of the safety and efficacy of a medicine before it can be launched on the market. Phase III studies are the largest, most complicated, and most expensive part of the medicines development process, and nearly 50% of medicines that enter this phase will fail.

Unfortunately, for now, we continue with more mystery and intrigue. Note: I am long AVXL. However, I am disappointed with the continuation of muddled reports. I hope we will get to the bottom of the mystery and intrigue, but I have no “expectation” about when that will be.

Lastly, I feel the constant “expect” this and that posts are unhelpful, monotonous, and damaging. Repeatedly raising expectations have led to multiple disappointments for many. I do not think that the intentions behind the “expect” posts are bad, but let’s stop paving the road to disappointment with these frequent and failed posts, which discourage shareholders and do not advance the company or its share price.
