Dear Sean
Thank you for your query via our website.
Currently the company is screening patients through our Clinical Trial site at Duke Medical. To date several patients have been screened but none have met the inclusion criteria. The clinical team is comfortable with progress and we will update the market once dosing has commenced.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions.

Kind regards

Carl Stubbings
