I want to alert you that the information currently available on this specific research -- SNIFF 120: Study of Nasal Insulin to Fight Forgetfulness -- comes from a Phase 2 clinical trial. So far we are talking about a population of 104 patients.
I can tell you that there is no funding now in place to take this research to the next step, a Phase 3 clinical trial. Even if the funding were to be made available, it will be many years before the findings become available.
