If a study’s sponsor is required by law to release certain information before time of publication, it should do only the minimum required and not name NEJM.
If substantial publicity for a study occurs before or during the peer-review process, priority for publication could be affected. The more said in a press release prior to publication, the greater the negative impact may be on priority for publication.
I essentially asked that question in an email to investor relations three days ago. Still no response...just the automatic reply saying, "Thank you...we'll get back to you soon."
I must acknowledge that NWBO's definition of "soon" has always been substantially different from mine.
