Hi Becky,

This is the latest information I heard:

It will take a least 3 months for the results from all the blood assays
to come in after all the patients have been completed in phase I. Still
then, results will have to be published before any information can go
public.
Dr. Faustman will still like to proceed with phase II at the beginning
of 2010 if funding is available. Right now..there isn't enough money.

All that we really need to be concerned with is any safety issues in
phase I to interfere with getting FDA approval to proceed with some sort
of protocol (based on the blood assay information from phase I) for
phase II.

So, as was the problem with getting phase I going, funding will be the
hold up. I'm doing my 5th annual golf tournament. Even without the
Iacocca Foundation, we can still continue our grassroots efforts to
raise funding to see that this protocol is properly tested in humans.
We also need to continue to try to get the word out about these trials.
$25 million is a lot of money to most of us, but in the grand scheme of
research, it's really not. It's because there's no money to be made on
the other end that conventional sources aren't available. Philanthropy
is the only way these methods will be tested, so we have to GET THE WORD
OUT so that those with money and a big heart become interested.

Off my soapbox... ;-)

Hope this helps,
Stacy Lavery
