I am not sure it's possible to tell at this time. The sponsor owns the trial, and the collaborator is involved, but the level of involvement varies from almost nothing through full funding and logistics. The only way to really know is when the article is published and they disclose funding there. I gut feeling, and this is purely a guess, is that given the size and duration this was funded by the university and Mannkind provided the drugs for free. |

Definition of sponsor : an individual or organization that pays some or all of the costs involved in staging an event. Therefore, MannKind didn't contribute to the costs of the trial.

Whose definition is that? I can find other definitions on the web suggesting a sponsor may or may not contribute financially. www.cancer.gov/publications/dictionaries/cancer-terms/def/clinical-trial-sponsorclinical trial sponsor: A person, company, institution, group, or organization that oversees or pays for a clinical trial and collects and analyzes the data. Also called trial sponsor. |

Definition of sponsor : an individual or organization that pays some or all of the costs involved in staging an event. Therefore, MannKind didn't contribute to the costs of the trial. Mannkind is listed as a Collaborator at Clinicaltrials.gov. What does Clinicaltrials.gov consider to be Collaborator? clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/about-studies/glossaryCollaborator: An organization other than the sponsor that provides support for a clinical study. This support may include activities related to funding, design, implementation, data analysis, or reporting. --- So without more information, we don't yet know whether or not Mannkind contributed financially. As a Collaborator, it may well have. |

While I am at it, the Clinicaltrials.gov glossary says nothing about a Sponsor paying some or all of the costs. clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/about-studies/glossarySponsor: The organization or person who initiates the study and who has authority and control over the study. |

mnkdfann MannKind is a collaborator. Do you think MannKind is a sponsor?

Kastanes, it's more likely that you are a sponsor of that article, than MNKD being a sponsor of that trial. You did find it awfully fast...

mnkdfann MannKind is a collaborator. Do you think MannKind is a sponsor? No. The Clinicaltrials.gov site says Mannkind is a Collaborator in the STAT study, not a Sponsor. But did you read the definitions of what Clinicaltrials.gov considers to be a Collaborator or a Sponsor? I do believe it likely that Mannkind contributed in some way towards the cost of the trial. By providing money, materials, or people. That is consistent with what Clinicaltrials.gov considers a Collaborator to be. |

LFD included the following sentence:
"maybe the true believers might grasp why a discerning investor should be scratching their head trying to determine why MannKind has undertaken an expensive effort".
When I questioned him on it he deleted it from his article. The point I was making is MannKind is not undertaking an expensive effort; not who sponsored it.
