They just had the largest AIDS conference ever and we didn't attend.

I think Duke and Tulane are still trying to figure out which mab to test in humans...IF they decide to test Bavi for HIV. After a year and half, you would think they would know something by now.

August is almost over, one more week left for that SIGNIFICANT announcement......

katie....

Does bavi repair damaged livers?-

That is very interesting. The NIAID and HHS is very concerned about current Meds damaging livers in HEPC and especailly Co-Infected HIV/Hepc patients. Liver Cancer and damaged Livers.

Now, that would be something......

The Tarvacin equivalent antibody and gemcitabine each reduced the tumor and metastatic burden in these mice, but combination therapy with the two agents was significantly more effective than either agent alone. Combination therapy reduced primary tumor burden by 60% in both models. Furthermore, combination therapy reduced metastatic events by 80% at each of the principal sites of pancreatic metastasis and significantly reduced the number of mice with liver metastases in both models. This is of clinical importance since the liver is the major site of blood-born metastases in pancreatic cancer, and metastatic liver tumors are the most common source of therapeutic failure in patients after surgical removal of the primary tumor
