I did a bit of speculating re possible delays recently in post #46606505 . The company have since basically confirmed it's an issue by altering the timelines for the heart and lower back readouts

"I’m sure most here are hoping that the first 90 patient readout in September leads to the trial being suspended because of overwhelming efficacy.

If that doesn’t happen, (and I know some think that would ultimately give a better data set), recent research out of USA suggests that clinical trials are now taking considerably longer than originally anticipated.

A combination of factors, including the huge number of competing trials, sometimes several at the same site, overwhelmed hospitals, staff workload issues, reluctant patients and under representation of minority groups are said to be contributing to the problem."
