RE: Phase 3, is it on or not yet you have to be patient dreamer, I know its hard when one is so close, but remember the doctors are bound by the same rules as "insiders" (buying and selling as well as giving out information) there are also a couple of levels you are missing, you got the ones doing the safety side and those that are doing the research of efficacy. You may be quite surprised at our immune system and the placebo effect it can have. Remember these doctors are blinded too so they have to calculate all those that improved or not on the drug as well as those on the placebo.
If you think phase II is long wait until phase III here is the real battle.
