Luis, I misread the lidak press release.

There were only 10 patients in the Kaposi's study, and 28 LESIONS studied (not 28 patients total). After, 3 months, all ten patients manifested a decrease in lesion size. If there was no selective info release here, this is very good. According to H Nimann on the Ligand thread, you would expect only 10 % of patients/lesion? to show spontaneous regression (no time frame was offered). I tend to think this is good additional evidence that lidakol works very well on herpes. By the way, other drugs I have become aware of for Kaposi's, that are in development, don't have near the results that we seem to be seeing here, and the folks on the other threads are excited about their results.

That upcoming oral herpes study may just come through
