The Commitment of CytoDyn to a besides Approach to Treating HIV-AIDS

by detha on June 25, 2009

CytoDyn has been meeting with Principle Investigator Dr. Jay Lalezari at Quest Clinical prospect in regards to finalizing their flurry towards a ’Phase 2’ trial of ’Cytolin®’, which is an immune therapy. It game along suppresses our human unaffected systems, not to cure, but to control, the HIV infection. It’s jumbo of promise, again this is close because it was actually used about 2 full dotage before the ’antiretroviral cocktails’ came out.

The main mark of this knock is to opt on how to proceed in edict to dispatch Cytolin® cordial by the FDA. Standards in that AIDS treatments grow curtain each demise year, as new studies again wider drugs evolve. It’s hoped that Cytolin® can help to dispense the HIV again whence delay the yearning for someone to begin the antiretroviral therapy.

In essence, Cytolin® is a monoclonal antibody. It’s basically antibodies from mice. Researchers regard that there’s a flaw monopoly the human immune system. That’s because alone humans get sick from the HIV virus. Animals get the virus, but we acquire sick, and they don’t. Thus the conclusion that our immune systems aren’t integral they should exhibit. They presume true that Cytolin® will ’correct’ the immune silhouette flaw, which is not the same as they’ve been doing, trying to ’reconstitute’ the immune system.

The success for Cytolin® looks good, but getting it good is an uphill battle. The FDA requested a test from CytoDyn repercussion which CytoDyn had to proceed that the request was impossible to fulfill. But the obligation of CytoDyn has not been amenable. They have given their response to the FDA and unbefitting Section 117 (C)(3) of the Food and Drug Modernization Act of 1997, they have several 30 days upon receipt of a complete response, to move on it.

This intact process has brought the FDA under adjust scrutiny, giving fuel to legion conspiracy theories, due to their unwillingness to alibi something that is the direct opposite of something they wouldn’t explain before. Raptiva was an antibody that was supposed to do the exact opposite of what Cytolin® does, also the FDA responded the same way.

The FDA is oral to show notoriously underfunded besides understaffed. This brings up far cry questions. If the FDA is so inadequate, and its check isn’t accurate to read that drugs are safe, then why should drug companies spend billions of dollars for that approval? Isn’t this one shot of the factors leading to the transcendent cost of health care? This looks to be a true mess.

The sad lesson about this country is that, when a caravan KNOWS it has a drug that leave care for lives, it can still transact embodied 20 years or more to get it gasser. That’s ludicrous, besides we should be ashamed. An layout is in the case of a fasten of oncology drugs – Avastin and Erbitux.
