RE:RE:RE:10 patients early 2021 for 25 for Breakthrough Designation That's my reading too.
It's not to reach 25 patients. It's to have 3 months data, if not better (12 months), so you can discuss such data with the FDA.
That of course is the standard pattern. You have to have enough data on enough patients to see a trend. Not for this to be anecdotal because of couple of cases.
The fact that we under-treated our first 12 patients complicated TLT's job to have a stellar record to present.
The medical communitiy wants to see a large enough sample before trusting a new treatment, new procedure.
As of now, we don't know enough, though we all think numbers are gonna be fine. But the industry is not into guessing. It wants facts, numbers.
COVID-19 treatment could be fun if fully funded by the government but again, we'll have to go through all the phases that we've been through with NMIBC, that is Ph. 1 and 2 at least. It takes time. For the COVID-19 therepeutics, the FDA has so far approved only 1 treatment. 8 have been granted EUA. You just don't approve a drug because there are some investors that want their stock to go up. It's not like that that it works.
