Why isn't there more coverage of the 75% return of motor function? Its been like 3 years since i heard about that and it seems like no-one including the media cares about this finding.. I guess that fact contributes to the feeling that nothing is happening. As time goes on its almost as if you stop believing it...
Hey Eric, there hasn't been any coverage because the data can not be released before the paper is published. Once published, Wise will be able to speak freely about the results and release the data. It has been a herculean effort to create a clinical trial network in China (26 Centers) and carry out six clinical trials, for $2 million. The foundation has been laid and now we are prepared to move forward in India, US, and soon Norway. Hang in there.
Would't be easier to publish the data in an open source journal?Originally Posted by Jim

Hey Paolo,
I'm pretty sure it's a done deal
Sounds good Jim.... I've been extra down lately, Hopefully there'll be some form of progress at some point....
It just feels like this time next year will be the same story
I believe scientists want to be published in journals that other respected scientists read, and scientists don't have time to read all the published journals. Furthermore, scientists want to read journals that are heavily refereed, i.e. peered reviewed to insure the contents are correct. This results in few respected journals that are very selective about what they publish and that have no problem rejecting papers that don't comply with their standards due to topic or accuracy.

Am I right in saying the papers was send in to the FDA and they where send back.!! With no decision taken As yet ? Again if wise and his team was to show the hard work to the Tv channels what he is trying to do. It might move it a long and bring in a lot of much needed funds.
I am sorry if this was said before

The FDA does not publish papers, journals do that.
We can not release the clinical trial data to the media before publication.The paper will soon be published.
The US FDA approves clinical trials. We are working with them and plan to start the trial this year.
