Perhaps PPHM should reconsider the notion of using Bavituximab in combination with another vaccine or chemo treatment for Ebola:

Were earlier trials a mono-therapy?

…Steve King (3-11-11 CC): "While this news is certainly disappointing, we are grateful to the TMT & DTRA for the opportunity to work together to evaluate bavituximab in this unique potential indication. We received nearly $24mm in funding over the past 33 mos… In the studies we have conducted to date under this contract, our antibodies have demonstrated a significant increase in survival in advanced preclinical models of the highly lethal Ebola virus. However in these specific studies, we weren't able to achieve an adequate dose response correlation to support advancing the program to the next stage. In no way does this dampen our enthusiasm for bavituximab and the PS-targeting platform for infectious diseases, where we believe there is still significant unrealized potential."
