RE:RE:RE:RE:RVX NEW POST BLOGI'm glad to see that I'm not always the one who parses words this closely in news releases and articles! LOL
But despite that, I did not read that into this article at all. Don has said all along (as recently as the February webcast I think) that they were going into the "final stages of planning" the study. There's nothing new in his saying that.
Because of that, I don't think it means anything more than that they are finishing up the long planning process. This has been an extended planning process, I think, since they wanted to get things right and had a new guy come on board who will be running the study.... I think I have heard them talk about this fact.
I bet he is glad the process is almost over.
In my view "completing the planning" means that the study will be starting. They are one and the same thing. They complete the planning and there's just one thing to do then: Get it underway with IND filing and then initial dosing.
I bet we are getting quite close to both of those items.
I hope GV can ask them tomorrow about this to clear it up.
