Mysterious quietness about stem cell ongoing trials

[Farooqji]

I am unable to find any news about the three ongoing legitimate trials. Request for the feedback if someone is updated

IQ:

You have several issues here which make sense if you are actually running a human CT (not an animal).

1) Recruitment delays can run years. It is always a problem and can take years if the population is difficult to recruit or large (>50)

2) Nothing to report of significance. Not unusual for at least 60% of clinical trials never to report their results or to "ghost" them in presentations at conferences which never see any distribution.

3) The longer duration CTs (longer than 12 months) will seldom publish interim reports.

4) Time from wash out to completion through analysis of data to writing of the report (results) to review by the IRB to final draft preparation to distribution can take years or may never get pass the IRB for a variety of reasons.

I wouldn't hold my breath.
