Steve:

Largely data that we already knew about. The 13/15 versus 6/12 data, the ''<1 copy/ml (OD=background) at 32 weeks" data, is the important part. If they only looked at 32 weeks, I'm relatively impressed.......the data helps to keep my skeptical mind open. If they looked at other time points, I'd like to know about it..... I hate companies that give selected data.

Viral vaccines have not done well as therapeutics, but HIV is a whole new creature. I continue to believe that the concept of HAART plus a vaccine is worth testing, and, regardless of opinion regarding outcome, we should all be happy that IMNR is giving it a shot.

As before, this is a "show me" project, a project that faces skepticism from FDA and most immunologists. My bottom line??.... if I were HIV positive, I'd want in the phase III. I would not be enthusiastic about the outcome, but I'd want in.
