Thanks Control It! I put in a Request for Information to our Investor Rep this afternoon. I'm following with a call. Rich Cunningham, our new CEO seems to have cut responces. We'll see::
Good Day Brian, Hoping to have further insight into TYME 19 status as the end of our FY21 is coming to a close. Tests evidently have been going on since July from what I gather in this article. May's a long way off now, and thinking the Patent a little less than a promise Proof-Of-Concept.
Approved as Patent Claim announced on 03 March . A lot of stories on the efforts going into orally administered therapies. Excerpt from Rachel Maddow's interview with Anthony Faucie 11 March (last Thursday). Mostly Rachel build-up here. Fauci fairly succinct and to the point: ----------------------------------------------------------- MADDOW: Imagine if we had something like that. You know, you didn`t get vaccinated in time, and you got COVID. You tested positive, but then you can take a dose of this drug, and it`s highly effective at preventing you from being hospitalized. Like 70 percent effective or even more, 85 percent effective, 87 percent effective at keeping you from having to go to the hospital because of your COVID infection, at keeping you from dying.
Imagine if we had something like that, a drug you could take, if we had something that would effectively cure people who got infected with COVID. A drug you could take that would keep you from getting sick and dying. How would the availability of that affect our national response to this pandemic?
I`m asking because honestly, it seems like we might have that right now already. But nobody is really talking about it. Two new clinical trial results reported yesterday showing for people who tested positive for COVID, people at high risk of getting sick and dying from COVID, take this drug, 85 percent and 87 percent reduction in your chance of getting hospitalized or dying. Two different drugs, one with an 85 percent reduction, one with an 87 percent reduction. One of these drugs, the 87 percent one, is already approved for use in the United States. It`s made by Eli Lilly. Eli Lilly says they can make a million doses of that in the next few months. The other drug is made by Glaxo, and a biotech company called Vir.
They say they`re applying for use authorization in the United States right away on the strength of these clinical trial results. Their clinical trial was actually called off by the advisory board overseeing it because the drug was working so well, they decided the only ethical thing to do was to stop the trial. They decided it wasn`t ethically right to keep giving half the people in that trial just a placebo when the drug itself was working so well. It was showing an 85 percent reduction in people having to go to the hospital and in people dying. Among people who were COVID positive and at high risk of sick. What if we had something that`s basically a cure? What if we have already got something that`s pretty close to a cure and we`re just not using it enough......
I mean, COVID-19 is not considered to be a curable illness now, but for people who are infected who are at high risk from getting sick, this thing may be way more susceptible to treatment that we`re -- than we`re acting like. Why is that? Why is nobody talking about that?..................
Dr. Anthony Fauci, it`s a real honor to have you here tonight, sir. Thank you so much. First of all, let me -- let me give you the chance to wind me back here ;,if I am looking at this the wrong way around -- or if anything that I just said is wrong or too fuzzy?
FAUCI: Thank you very much. Good to be with you, Rachel.
Part of what you said, a good part of what you said is true. The only difficulty is that when you`re dealing with something that requires an intravenous administration, the logistics of doing that on a wide scale is much more difficult than I think you made it appear. What we really do need more of is orally administered pills like we have for HIV and hepatitis C, where someone can take them immediately. You don`t have to line up to go to an infusion center...... ************************************************************** Very Respectfully,
