Thanks very much for this press release Bluejay. I had not seen it before. I wonder if DMX never released this bit of news.

If there are positive results with this Phase III study, we are going to have a lot of people sit up and take note. Though the patients receive WF10 for 11 weeks the follow up is for two years, so it is difficult to tell when the first results will be reported. It surprises me that they have got going with a partial group (60 out of 240) instead of waiting to have everyone enrolled.

Let us hope for the best, especially for the patients themselves.

Greg

Bluejay: Great find. Thanks. The streaming video of Dr. McGrath is worth a listen/watch-- on the first page--requires Realplayer.

Greg--right on-- lets get on with it--patients are dying.

Results from an earlier well-controlled clinical trial at Vanderbilt University in Nashville,
TN were published in the journal Infection (August 1998). The study indicated that AIDS
patients receiving WF10 experienced a lower frequency of opportunistic infections, fewer
hospitalizations, and longer survival.


As I recall the results were dramatic. None of the patients
receiving placebo survived, while most getting WF10 did survive
and more compelling - the patients getting WF10 needed virtually
no hospital days while the placebo group needed many.
