Subject: RE: IRB # 104237 -- A Pilot Study of a 5-Day Infusion of Ketamine for Intractable Complex Regional Pain Syndrome

Ms. Epley:

Your February 19, 2007 letter to me states that a response to it must be received by the IRB no later than March 26, 2007.  I have requested an extension of time to respond to your February 19, 2007 letter.  In my opinion, it is very important that the misstatements of fact contained in your February 19, 2007 letter be addressed and corrected before the IRB proceeds any further.
