回复:迷迷糊糊的疱疹系列研究----先从感叹开始
佛瑞泽医生dr. frazier 认为他的药是可以治愈的, 他们的试验明年开始一期试验。 是治愈疫苗。 他们已经与药厂合作, 总裁说如果一切顺利, 将是治愈。 但我认为他所谓的治愈就是让它永久抑制不复发, 肯定病毒还在。 现在所说的治愈可能都是永久抑制, 就像布鲁姆教授的试验一样。
看来已经有很多教授都在试了, 现在说起码有十个博士教授都在发明这个, 布鲁姆教授已经不是唯一, 现在就看谁最先成功然后批准上市。 这也是个竞争啊!!
主保佑

I just want to understand the above "UPDATE JUNE 25, 2011" correctly. This is saying Dr. Frazer and his team believe they have a "CURE" for HSV-2 which mean all those infected with this virus can be cured once and for all. This would be classified as a therapeutic vaccine and as metioned above Phase I human trials are scheduled to start in 2012.
The email their CEO sent to me said their vaccine would be a cure, "if it works". They are pursuing it as a therapeutic vaccine to treat people already infected with herpes. There are many other therapeutic vaccines in the works, in addition to theirs. I'd say there are about 10 out there. One would hope that at least one of them will work and make it to the market in a 10 year period... and maybe sooner. If things go well for a drug, they should be able to progress thru a Phase III trial within 5 years so from an optimistic stance maybe 5 years we have a cure on the market.
