yep, but I suppose it depends of medicine how long each phase takes, if healing is quicker phase is shorter, I suppose.
So it is better to hope for some thing which is already on phases II or III and that's it Abxvax, Arc-520 or some thing else.
Sorte it doesn't matter who is working with the company but for the drug to come to the market takes a min of 10-12years which is weird.
but notice that dr.Michael Sofia, inventor of Solvadi (hep C cure) is on Tekmiras board now
My hope is from AbiVax, HBV-TKM probably is going to take long on pipeline since they are planing to start from scratch.
As we constantly keep saying, we need combination of therapeutic and antivirals products that are on table, to speed up this cure. Finally Canada and USA have decided to do it. Finger crossed. First show,first win
