I'm always trying to improve this summary page. If you see anything here that you don't like, don't agree with, or think could be done better, then please email me.

The Next Expected Milestone for Each Clinical Trial

The annotations on the table below are fully described at the bottom. The the important column is the last one. It contains the next expected milestone the researchers should make. So "June-2011 III Results !" means that in June of 2011, they should release the results of their phase-III trial, and the ! means they have publicly said they will do this. "April-2012 II Started" means they will start a phase-II trial in April 2012, and so on. Red dates are long over due. Orange dates are slightly over due. and BoldGreen dates are coming up in the next few months.

These are prevention trials:

Understanding These Tables

Each line is a separate clinical trial (so drugs/treatments with more than one trial active may have more than one line). 

Name 
The most common name of the drug or treatment.  Only one is included.  For drugs that have trade names and generic names, I usually use the generic name if there is space for it.  A * means this is the leading (farthest along) clinical trial for this drug or treatment in type-1 diabetes,  for treatments with many studies going on at the same time.

Id/Developer

Should be an identifying number or trial name, or both.  However, I started out putting the name of the researcher here, and I'm only slowly replacing that with the US government's clinical trial number, or a similar number from another governmental organization.  Developer is the organization creating the treatment or testing it.  Only one is included.

Notes 
Here are the notations in this field:

Appr: Drug or treatment already approved in the US or EU or both. 

Beta: Drug or treatment aimed at increasing beta cell mass or efficiency.
Comm: A commonly used drug, so widely prescribed or not prescription at all. 
Estab: A trial on established (non-honeymoon) type-1 diabetics.  Generally over 1 year.
Inflam: A drug or treatment based on preventing or lowering inflammation.
Prev: A trial aimed at preventing type-1, not curing it.
Treat: A drug aimed at treating type-1, not curing it. 
(...): A trade name of the drug in the trial, these drugs are usually "Appr".

Milestone Columns

 The last two columns in the table are both milestones, and are very similar.  Here are the types of milestones listed in these columns: 
Paperwork: Filed the paperwork required to start a trial.  Usually either the clinical trial record, or the IND application, if in the USA. 

Start: Started trying to enrolling patients in the trial.  Recruitment has started.
First Dose: The first patient actually enrolled and dosed.

Enrolled: Finished enrolling patients in the trial.  Trial is full.

Complete: The completion date from the clinical trial record.

GotData: Finished gathering data.

Results:  Important results published in some form (paper, symposia, abstract, etc.)

Published: Important Results published in a peer reviewed journal.
Also, these marks are used in both milestone columns:

"I", "II", and "III" refers to phases of  clinical trials.  Trials which the researchers consider phase-IV, are  considered phase-II here.
A "?" means I need to recheck that date.
A "!" means the researcher or organization has publicly listed that date.
