Grading comment

Elegí "experimental" pues se trata de un anuncio publicitario con tiempo limitado. Debo decir, sin embargo, que en realidad me gusta más la opción "en fase de investigación" en vez de "experimental" por las posibles connotaciones negativas que este último podría evocar en los "posibles pacientes" del ensayo clínico.

Muchas gracias a todos!
