Re: Quick question

This is what the National Cancer Institute at the NIH is reporting. They do make it sound like the trial is finishing. But this isn't the first time I've heard of NIH doing some premature reporting. I remember reading about Peptide T and that it actually reduced viral loads in AIDs patients, but NIH didn't wait for those results and published a report that squelched the funding.

In the body of the article it does mention that the follow up data was just a little over 5 years, so perhaps they think we recognize it is an interim report.

Becky, since your are familiar with the trial, I hope you will let us know when the final data is available.

Thanks!
