"IMO IRB approval was most likely the final planning activity conducted by Cardiogenics in preparing to conduct the Beta-Site study; which means the Company has moved from planning to implementation. Hospital personnel who will perform the activities outlined in the clinical protocol have been or are now being trained/educated on the clinical protocol to ensure they perform the duties outlined.
Patient enrollment is an element of the clinical study over which Cardiogenics has very limited control, thus foolish for the Company to identify a specific date for completion of the trial. If the company has sufficient data on likely patient enrollment rates, Cardiogenics could make a qualifying statement that if enrollment continues as they have experienced or complies with predictive enrollment rates then the last patient is projected to be enrolled in the study within some number of weeks or some specific future month."
As of 2:00 PM EST December 2012 CardioGenics has not announced the results of the Beta Site Study. As the Company publicly stated enrollment would take no more than 12 weeks (a mid-November date) we shareholders must conclude the "enrollment data" on which the Company based its projected enrollment rates was flawed.
Hopefully Dr. G and the BoD will recogize their fiduciary responsibilty and inform the investment community of the status of the Beta Site Study. Two things I would like to know are

So with this post I bid you adieu as my wife and I depart our boat slip at daybreak and will be cruising off the Eastern Seaboard for the next several weeks.
I wish you all a great holiday season and a successful New Year (especially those of you who own shares of CGNH)!
