Tom- I'm sorry to hear about your son-in-law. I'd like to think that B-OM could potentially be preventative for some and palliative for others but that may be wishful thinking. I hesitate to think 'curative' because to me that suggests that the patient has developed lesions and the medicine 'fixes' the lesions. Much better if we can prevent it and limit the tissue damage. If B-OM can limit the severity and duration of the lesions then patients will do so much better.

Unfortunately, it's unlikely that B-OM will be approved at the time your son-in-law could benefit from it. Also, for as promising as drugs such as B-OM may look in early trials, most do not make it to market. I'm extremely optimistic but we don't have enough data to know for sure.

Best of luck.
