What specific information are you looking for? It's impossible to deliver weekly or monthly information about this project because it doesn't change that frequently and the analysis of any data can not be made public.
The first $1.3 million out of the $11.5 million needed was finally given to the MGH lab in June of 2006. From that point, the project always had a 3 year estimated time frame to do the pre-clinical work involving the human blood assay for autoimmunity and the automation (building the platform system) for the first 18 months and then conducting the phase I clinical trial using BCG. We're almost a year and a half down the road and we've all been informed that the automation is basically complete, 100's of blood samples from diabetics have been collected and this will be an ongoing process. We've also been given the information that the phase I human trial is planned to start as early as this December
or January of 2008 taking an estimated timeframe of 18 months (thus the total 3 year time frame). The dosing of phase I is very low and is not expected to result in anyone having normoglycemia. The lab will be collecting valuable data such as TNF alpha levels, C-peptide, autoanitbodies, autoreactive T cells etc..
MGH is already fundraising for phase II hoping to start in mid to late 2009.

beefs with Faustman is the lack of information coming from her lab. It has been a very tiresome troublesome PIA journey to get any info as to what is going on. Dean, you may as well look at this link. http://web.archive.org/web/20040120204516/www.massgeneral.org/newssto ries/db_questions.htm
