Hello All,

Weren't we supposed to receive something on monday ?

Thanks

Lapoisse,

below posted recently by Demo (from NORD's contact) last week. Possibly meant this week? Also, "intends/expects" in the research world
probably means it won't be released until it is correct.

Frustrating wait it is, right enough when we are all waiting for some positive news.

Regards,
Colm

From NORD today, Wednesday, March 23, 2016

"Hi Demo,

Professor Komisaruk (your PI - principal investigator) intends/expects to submit the next scientific report to NORD by Friday the 25th or by the end of the week.

I will be sure to review right away and forward the public section (which will then be posted by you at the forum), which I've asked him to pay particular attention to.

All the best,
Jacqui" [Kraska]

Hi Demo,

Due to the number of scientific reports that the MAC
[NORD's Medical Advisory Committee] needs to review there is a slight delay in posting the public section of the [POIS] report. However, the [POIS] report that the PI [Dr. Komisaruk] sent was great, he included a lot of detail to share, [bold-highlighting mine -- demo] and NORD looks forward to sending it over ASAP.

Best wishes,
Jacqui

Latest ETA from NORD: Friday Jacqui to hopefully receive Dr. K report - reviewed/approved by senior medical advisors @ NORD.

To all POISers: believe me, I'm as anxious to see this as you are :)

...and just as frustrated!!

Hi, ve-to and Everyone,

The information we're waiting for is the "public portion" of Dr. Komisaruk's recent NORD  progress report. Only this small portion will be shared with the forum for now, because he hasn't formally published his study in a journal yet.

NORD's MAC receives extremely detailed progress reports ~ every 6 months while a study is in progress. These interim reports are reviewed by the MAC for scientific merit.

As a courtesy to the groups funding these studies (like poiscenter!), NORD requests that the PI write an additional brief summary with each progress report...something that can be publicly shared/posted on the groups' websites before the study is actually published in a journal. Some PIs write several paragraphs for the public, but most often it's only a paragraph or two.

So, that's what we're waiting for -- the brief public summary.

Stef
