Now that's almost a philosophical question. On the one hand of course, we all need hope and optimism -- something to look forward to.
On the other hand, what is the point in having suffering patients running around like a headless chicken pursuing and paying for cures that damage their pocket-books and worse, might damage their health or even their hearing or all three?

I can see that you are what is called a true believer". But life is technical. Just imagine, just suppose that it all comes down to some form of inflammation within the cochlea. In my particular case what killed me (so-to-speak) is that I felt so healthy -- didn't feel sick at all... but the little sound kept getting louder and louder week by week and took away my beauty sleep.
I would agree that the cadaver dissections seem to point towards synapse, hair cell loss though.

Most of us aren't running anywhere yet... A little bit of hope could mean some of us decide to try their best efforts, or at least bother to check lumps on the neck...
Okay @Justin Mills.
Well we'll find out, won't we.
For the record, my tinnitus is also noise induced; so I sincerely hope that you are right and I am wrong.
Pipeline just posted a job position for an Accounting Manager on LinkedIn. Part of what they're looking for includes someone who can provide "assistance with SEC filing (10-Q and 10-K)". They want someone with "At least 5 - 7 years' experience in accounting, preferably at a public biotech company". I'm guessing that they plan on going public sometime within the next year.
That's my assumption. Their other main drug won't have results until next summer. I've been checking in on the job postings for a lot of these companies (Otonomy has been doing a lot of hiring - not sure if that's good or bad), and Pipeline hasn't posted anything recently until now. The job going up late Friday is strange timing. The study's been over for 6 weeks. Maybe they were in a meeting discussing the results and decided they were good enough to move forward with taking the company public.
Of course, there could be a more benign explanation, but the fact that the job posting makes clear that assistance with SEC filings are important shows that going public is on their mind. And going public will be hard if they have something that doesn't work.
Pipeline Therapeutics are taking awhile to release the results for PIPE-505. I really do hope they announce positive results but this long wait to release them is making me anxious that the results might not be good.

Same here, but I maintain hope. Now, if September rolls around and still no results, then I'll be worried.
Here's the Accounting Manager job description from LinkedIn:

There's several things on here that scream that they're getting ready to go public. However, I just realized that they also recently finished up a study for PIPE-307 in July.The Accounting Manager will be responsible for a wide variety of accounting responsibilities.

The goal was probably always to go public, so I'm guessing there's good results for either PIPE-307 (Multiple Sclerosis) or PIPE-505 (Hearing Loss / Speech in Noise), or both. The PIPE-307 study had significantly more patients (72 vs 28), so I'm guessing that's the more important study for them.
I don't think we'll know the results for either trial until the company gears up to go public. I assume they'll want the good news about their studies to coincide with the news that they're now offering stock.

I wonder what the holdup is. Are they waiting until September when everyone is back at work to release the results? That's the only explanation I can come up with.

On the clinical trials website it was stated that June 17th is the study completion date. It has been over 3 months since. Something must have gone wrong if they haven't released the results yet.

4 months now... Man, I wish Pipeline Therapeutics would come out and say something; anything at this point. Can you imagine them not saying anything this year; possibly having to wait until 2022?

Maybe or maybe not that July date was for estimated completion, no date given for actual completion so maybe stuff got delayed.

This could be the case but isn't necessarily true. There's a bunch of other possibilities. I wouldn't jump to conclusions until the data is out. Unfortunately, taking such a long time to release data could mean they are posturing and getting ready for windfall from the bad news.
Yes please do. Pipeline Therapeutics' drug and OTO-413 are our best two shots right now.
Unfortunately I do not think that they will respond to emails about asking for information relating to clinical trials, as they usually have to keep things closed until they release the data.
All I'm gonna ask is if they can give an indication when they will release the results. But yeah, it's a long shot. I'm really tired so might be tomorrow
Can you not just fly over to their office and ask?

I think that the benefit with the Otonomy medicines might end up being their delivery method.
Not guaranteed but if their last dose got done in July and Otonomy tests up to three months after the dosing, then this means that October would be when this happens.
No evidence to confirm that this might be a reason for the lack of results presently, however it would be logical to assume that this could be one reason.
