You, Pete, Farrell and a few others have really helped in keeping this board on track as to the progress IPIX is making!!
I think your opinions/thoughts are spot on and that is why longs will have a great weekend and looking forward to some great news from Leo in the near future.
Gosh.......I would HATE to be SHORT on this stock!!
Could be some of these Russian clinics on that list don't have a choice in anti-virals and B is the only choice. Russia to my understanding is a mostly poor country. Go B
I agree the high number of sites is a surprise. We know from the US experience how regional Covid19 can be.I expect some of the sites will have 15-20 patients in the study while others will have 3 or 4 or may be even none due to the hot spots which can develop with Covid 19.
5.3 per 20 sites a big advantage? Sure if your goal is enrolling patients very quickly. Or if you have very large multi center trials where you need a large N.
Is that the case here? No.
They oughta be able to find 10-20 patients easily at 1/2 to 1/4 of the sites and then life would be simpler for standardization and running the trial. No no need for 20. Too many cooks.
Also- they only need 120 people(or 106). It is not like a very large cardiology trial, just to take one example, where you recruit thousands of patients. Again, no need for 20 sites. Small trial.
Am I personally glad if they run it quick and fast? Sure if it works. Then more news sooner.
If you are right about the start they should know a great deal of data right this very minute.
I think you are wrong and the trial has not enrolled anyone
