Response from Dr. Moyle

Dear Mike, The first sucessful phase 2 trials in reducing fat accumulation were preformed in Boston (Dr Steve Grinspoon) and Montreal (Dr Julian Falutz). Details of how the drug works on insulin like growth factor are shown in the link below The company website does not include details regards further trials

I guess you should keep watching sites such as thebody.com, amfar, etc for news on trials

Sorry to no know more

Regards

Graeme Moyle
