• Replication efforts of Naviaux's study are taking place, he talks about this in his reply to a comment on his paper.
• Lipkin's study has all the samples it needs but needs funding to start, http://bit.ly/DonateToDrLipkin
• We will hear about results from the OMF as and when Ron is confident in them I guess, he has no plans to publish results himself.
• Fluge and Mella's Stage 3 Rituximab study results will be unblinded in the autumn sometime of this year. They may release the information there and then, or they may wait until they are published officially in which case we won't hear for, probably, 6 months or so.
• There are other studies taking place but off the top of my head I'm not aware of when we might see any results from them.

Please note, this is all my interpretation of what I've recently read, so if anybody has any firm info I'm more than happy to be corrected.

From OMF Newsletter 15 December 2016

The expanded validation study of Metabolomics (Naviaux et al. 2016), which now also includes genetics. Completed the sample collection and testing is in progress. Date of completion estimated at June 2017.

OMF completed the sample collection and clinical testing for the Severely ill Big Data Study. Research testing and analyses are in progress. Date of completion estimated at June 2017.

@AndyPR and @mango are spot on from the OMF side of things, I will also add that OMF and Prof Davis is planning a webinar in February to give some updates

Honestly never heard about that, can someone tell me what it is?

Fluge and Mella testing another cancer drug, in short.

A year ago last December, Dr. Lipkin visited Simmaron Reseach in Incline Village, Nevada. Cort Johnson reported on it here...
http://simmaronresearch.com/2015/12...ears-to-solve-chronic-fatigue-syndrome-mecfs/

...and there was a thread on it here:
http://forums.phoenixrising.me/index.php?threads/preliminary-news-from-lipkin-co.42026/#post-679563

One of the developments that Lipkin's team was working on was...

Preliminary evidence suggests that levels “X” and “Y” metabolites and, at least, one immune protein are significantly altered in ME/CFS. (Lipkin embargoed this information pending publication of the paper. One of them is a shocker.)

Although the quote referred to the information being embargoed "pending publication" of the paper, it also used the term "preliminary results," so it's hard to tell how far along that study was / is. Hopefully, we'll see more information on this research in the coming year.
