Item 8.01 Other Events.
Preparations were on schedule to commence the ReSPECT clinical trial in the first quarter of 2020, however, due to the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic, trial site activation was delayed. We will continue regulatory and clinical activities so that we may begin initiating sites and enrolling patients when the effects of COVID-19 subside, and are working closely with clinical trial sites and advisors to evaluate when it will be appropriate to commence the trial on a site-by-site basis.
