RE:question re DR Gpalinc2000 wrote: From the PR
"The MGH, through Dr. Steven Grinspoon, who is chief of the hospital’s Metabolism Unit, has agreed to assist Theratechnologies in connection with the Study design, selection of optimal patient population, dosing, Study duration and other safety matters and to participate, if need be, in regulatory meetings with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA)"
My primary language is not Engish but how can anyone infer from the abobe that Dr G was already in the loop with regards to the items above that he will assist?
It would have been so simple if true to write that Dr G has already been involved in every step of the regulatory process and this agreement materializes this relation for the long term .....That alone would have indicated that things were going well
Then let me help. "Grinspoon ... has agreed to assist Theratechnologies in connection with the Study design" ...
"has agreed to assist" is in the past tense, it could have been yesterday or 6 months ago. It does not convey whether he was/is/will assist ... it conveys that he agreed to assist. Intepreting this to say he has yet to assist is wrong. This statement is totally consistent with Grinspoon helping them last year.
It's really, really, really good news!
