Many arms waving, legs twitching, grimacing and phrase-mongering. As usual and nothing about research.

You expect him to give a scientific break down to what looks like non-scientist?

I think Kivi and many are looking for results. It's good that the trial is growing and becoming multi-country and multi-continent but everyone wants positive results and they want them now.

I think published positive results will open the floodgates of funding. Published negative or lack of any positive results will cause the opposite.

I think Wise has said many times:

1. He does not know the results until the data is collected and analyzed from the Phase 3 clinical trials.
2. If he did know something, it would be unethical to devulge it.

Frankly, if the trial turned out not to be successful in curing paralysis, he has still accomplished a lot in organizing a network of SCI clinical trial centers. Besides, the funding of most of this work is coming from China, so why are some people acting like they've been cheated out of their life savings? If you want to be cheated, go to one of the stem cell centers in Latin America.

And remember, this is a Phase II Safety Study. It is a huge deal that the surgery and injection of cells into the spinal cord is safe. This in itself is a major step forward. Anything else is icing on the cake.

All of the funding for ChinaSCINet Trials has come from China/Hong Kong.

Such a great point. Never even thought about that.

We have not yet made that determination. In order to be eligible to be center for our trials, the hospital must be GCP (Good Clinical Practice) qualified by the sFDA (the Chinese state Food and Drug Administration. The requirements are quite onerous and the sFDA takes a long time to give GCP certification. So, we are not sure whether they will be qualified by next year. Wise.
