There has been no delays. Dr. Missling layed out the catalysts below for this year. There was no promise as to what quarter or month the trials would begin. I suspect the catalysts below will be executed in near chronological order, with 18 month trial update and PK/PD data release occurring in the summer and perhaps all three trials beginning in Q4.
