Paul, I know that the company got good preliminary data from AndroCar's compassionate use trial, but this was based on a very small sample size. I think there were only 7 or 9 people involved. I also know that the company announced that they were expanding the program and that they had expected results by the end of June. I am assuming they never completed the expanded trial because they never issued a press release announcing the results. I just wonder if they got any useful data out of the trial before it was cancelled. Could they say for example:

"We wanted to enroll 30 more people for 6 months but we only got to enroll 10 people for 2 months. We didn't get as much data as we had hoped for, but we saw significant tumor shrinkage in 7 of those 10 people?"

If they got some indication of how the results would have turned out then this may help them in persuading a large pharmaceutical company to assist them in conducting the tests necessary before releasing AndroCar as a cancer drug.

Paul, you said:

i am still convinced it could be a winner..but, reality sets in and we must wait for firm results or news that justifies being bullish.

I couldn't agree with you more about the necessity of awaiting firm news before becoming excessively bullish.
