FLUDASE:

(1) Proof mouse studies showed as much as an over 10,000 fold reduction in viral load:
"The plaque purified R292K virus variants of Shanghai/1 and Taiwan/1 H7N9 viruses exhibited highly reduced inhibition by oseltamivir carboxylate (>10000-fold)"
jid.oxfordjournals.org

(2) Proof the Phase 2 trial was indeed a success:
"DAS181 significantly reduced viral load in participants infected with influenza, thus warranting future clinical development of this novel host-directed therapy."
jid.oxfordjournals.org

(3) Proof there were no serious side effedts:
"DAS181 was found to be well tolerated in all treatment groups, and no serious adverse events were observed."
jid.oxfordjournals.org
(4) Proof the Phase 2 trials weren't even for "observated" clinical effects:
A lack of observed clinical effects despite the decreased viral load is something that should concern NNVC investors as well as its very existence depends on viral load reduction theory. Also, you "forgot" to mention this: "There are a number of possible reasons for the lack of observed clinical effects in this study. This study was not designed, nor sufficiently powered, to assess clinical efficacy of DAS181 on influenza symptoms. Symptom scores were collected only once daily on days 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, and 14. This is in contrast with pivotal studies for oseltamivir and zanamivir, in which clinical assessments were collected twice daily [16]. Hence, more subtle differences in clinical outcomes (especially if less than 24–36 hours) may not have been detected."

(5) Proof Ansun Biopharmaceuticals now owns NexBio but is still quite actively pursuing Fludase as an FDA approved and commercially available influenza drug:

(6) Proof Ansun is recently and continually engaging in human trials as I type to you:

This study is currently recruiting participants

Study Start Date: March 2014
Estimated Study Completion Date: April 2015
Estimated Primary Completion Date: March 2015 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Phase 3 on deck. How's NNVC's two-week long laughable trials going?
