IPIX, more questions than answers... So now an unknown Russian phase trial is projected to complete in Sept... The key being what phase? And, why was all this info hidden all along? Can't wait for the 10-Q...
This falls into negative development. But also makes no sense in length of time for this disease and number of participants. Update is identical in all ways except for trial conclusion date. Another delay would be truly exhausting. .
More evidence Leo is anticipating B-COVID-P/3 in Russia

Considering this evidence in association with my Sunday post below and I think that in terms of a "go-it-alone" B-COVID P-3 in Russia,I think IPIX is leaving the "realm of possibility" and approaching the "realm of probability".

Conducting a P-3 in Russia might not even cost that much. Quote: The cost of conducting CR in Russia, Argentina, China & India is about half the cost to the US (pages 16 & 17)
All of this suggest that the $14M IPIX has on hand might be enough to fund the B-COVID P-3 in Russia. Even if the $14M is not enough and Leo might need to raise a few more millions, the point here is that it appears a IPIX-financed B-C0VID P-3 has entered the realm of possibility.
Here are some 'Advantages of clinical trials in Russia':
1. Data acceptance With adherence to global standards and regulations observed in clinical studies, The FDA and EMA accept data from such clinical trials in Russia.
2. Patient pool The Russian hierarchical health care system contains a large number of health care facilities across the country which provides substantial access to various patient populations and enables rapid recruitment of study participants. Genetic diversity and high urban proportion.
3. Investigators expertise Access to educated, experienced, and compliant investigators who are motivated to participate in clinical trials to advance new drug development. There are GCP trained and certified Investigative Sites generating high-quality data.
4. Lower Costs Russia offers lower costs for conducting clinical trials as compared to the US and Western Europe. Some of the experts have claimed that compared to the US, Russian sites offer approximately 30-60% savings to sponsors depending on the complexity of the study, study-specific procedures, patient population, and etc.
