It's all gone rather quiet re the China trial. I just hope it's the calm before the storm. I can't wait to see the official results of this trial.

Calm before the storm is a pretty much right on.

Can't wait until published and the mountain of data is available to everyone.

Do you know when that will be ?Jim

[Jim]

I don't know how much time it takes to publish a paper once submitted.

[lunasicc42]

so the paper has already been submitted ?Waiting for publication?Or no?

[Jim]

Don't think submitted yet.

I don't know how much time it takes to publish a paper once submitted.

6 month is not uncommon. there is time for peer review and the author's response to peer comments. journals typically show three dates - submitted, accepted, and published. The Harkema paper with the excellent estim results was submitted September 2013 and just published in April 2014.

All I know is that the FDA must respond in a set amount of time. I can't remember offhand, but if you follow any of the spinal cord injury therapeutic biotech companies – they announce when they are submitting and when they receive information… Everything is available on their website to keep investors and consumers aware.

I think it is easy to keep track of news and progress when a company is public. I imagine a foundation could manage their pr in the same capacity.

Jim, check http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/script...21:5.0.1.1.3.3

It probably is different for a specialized drug, biomaterial or medical device. But there's tons of information here maybe you could find your answer
