* activities not under AHS control.
As indicated in the timeline above, some of our most important tasks can be carried out in 2008 only after patient accrual has been completed, diagnoses have been finalized and exposure classifications have been assigned. In projecting the above timeline, we assume that we will receive a final dataset with complete information ready for analysis by August 2008. Any delay in receiving the final dataset or any unanticipated additional preparation or processing of the final dataset will have an impact on the projected timeline.
