AIDS Treatment Activists Call for Fast Track Development of Reticulose

WEDNESDAY, JULY 26, 2000 1:31:00 PM EST
NEW YORK, Jul 26, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- With the close of the 13th International AIDS Conference, a coalition of leading AIDS Treatment activists are demanding better access to Reticulose, a lipoprotein-nucleic acid complex manufactured by Advanced Viral Research that has shown promise in the treatment of many of the symptoms of HIV disease. Reticulose is presently available through a compassionate use program approved by the FDA, but many activists are claiming this is not enough.

"Many people presently receiving Reticulose through the compassionate access program are doing better but there are hundreds of thousands of people living with AIDS who need access to this promising therapy but can't receive it," said David Miller, Director of Brooklyn Medical Arts AIDS CARE Center and a member of ACT UP Brooklyn. "We are urging Advanced Viral Research to peruse federal clinical research and to apply for fast track designation at the FDA to accelerate access for the thousands that are intolerant to the side effects of antiviral therapy."

Jeannie Gibbs, a veteran AIDS treatment activist now working with the International HIV IBT Working Group is petitioning FDA officials and legislators to move aggressively to ensure access to Reticulose. "I'm confident we're going to secure the necessary support to encourage the development of Reticulose in the next few weeks."

Advanced Viral Research is presently pursuing mature discussions with leading clinical research organizations including Anderson Clinical Research Institute who will be retained to execute trials in HIV patients during the next two to three months.

Sources close to the company revealed that dramatic in vitro results of a study analyzing the potential of Reticulose for the treatment of HIV will be submitted for presentation during the 38th annual meeting of the Infectious Disease Society of America taking place September 7-10, 2000 in New Orleans, LA.
