Ann: Phase 2 Trial of CYP-001 in aGvHD Approved in Turkey, page-10

Great to see that the sites are slowly coming "online".

After seeing the first site in Westmead / New Holland in August followed up by an announcement talking about "First USA site initiated in aGvHD trial" in New York / Vinland aka Thirteen Colonies in November, we should be seeing one of "multiple sites" in the Ottoman Empire start recruiting soon.

The announcement however now also spells it out that the US site is in fact recruiting patients (vs "site initiated"), "The trial has already opened for recruitment in Australia and the USA", even though the clinicaltrials.gov trial record is not yet reflecting the additional (first) US site:
https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05643638?term=cynata&city=&checkSpell=false&rank=1#study-overview

The hospital itself however has the trial listed:
https://jcto.weill.cornell.edu/open_clinical_trials/a-multicenter-randomized-double-blind-placebo-controlled-phase-ii-study-to-investigate-the-efficacy-and-safety-of-cyp-001-in-combination-with-corticosteroids-vs-corticosteroids-alone-for-the-treatment-of-high-risk-acute-graft-versus



Based on their website, the patient randomization is 50/50, which was something that the company (Cynata) has not yet clearly communicated, "Participants will be randomized to receive either CYP-001 IV infusion or placebo. Randomization is like flipping a coin and there is a 50/50 chance of being assigned to either group."

However, the record on the hospital's website perhaps require additional clarification due to a poor choice of words in my opinion, "The purpose of this study is to evaluate if CYP-001 can be effective to treat GvHD that has not responded to steroids."

The trial is seeking to recruit patients that are considered High Risk, meaning likely to not respond to steroids, but have not yet failed to respond. That's a big difference, given the commentary by Dr Galiepau et al and is something that sets this trial apart from other trials in this space since the treatment can start earlier. I have sent them an email already, asking to review the choice of words.

Also, we may see one or more centers in QLD opening up soon:
