Re: I could use some help from "old-timer" Tekmira folks regarding TKM-Ebola data... HCWs versus patients etcWhoops! Wrong link for one of the articles I pointed to that mentioned a safety trial as the next step for ZMapp: http://tinyurl.com/pw8wat2 This should have been the first link of the two I provided for this in my earlier post - to a NYTimes article, where I found the following: ~~~~~~ Robin Robinson, director of the federal agency that procures drugs and vaccines for public health emergencies, said through a spokeswoman that enough of the drug was expected to be available by the end of the year to conduct a Phase 1 clinical trial to test the safety of ZMapp. Other companies that can produce drugs in tobacco will be enlisted, said Dr. Robinson, whose agency, the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, is part of the Department of Health and Human Services. He said that there was debate about how quickly to deploy the drug in Africa but that officials thought it was important to test the safety in healthy volunteers first. |
