yes, maybe if you google rna interference human trial you can still find reports.

rna interference is to say it easy just pieces of rna to interfere with hbv rna in our case but safety is still to be checked on humans

he died because of the test/ trial?

[stef2011]

sorry but short interfering rna is already known from years to cure almost all viral cronic infections, the point is if they will ever allow it on humns

the company who discovered interfering rna was in US but a drug company legal battle made it bankrupt and rnas were blocked until patents expired, now the patent are gone so many other researchers in the wrold are developping them but like replicor until now no rna interference therapy reached human trials
i think there has been one person in canada that did it, not remember disease, and he was dead so no futhur human trials

i hope that germany, which is less influenced by US drug makers, will be able to make human studies, in any case we wont see anything before 5-10 years, so not even a close option

"The team, headed by Professor Ulrike Protzer, Director of the Institutes for Virology at the Helmholtz Zentrum München and the Technical University of Munich, worked together with Dr. Hendrik Poeck from the Klinikum rechts der Isar at the Technical University of Munich and Professor Gunther Hartmann from the University of Bonn to develop a new treatment option for chronic hepatitis B. The study, which was published in Gastroenterology, describes the use of specially modified siRNAs*. The designer RNA fragments inhibit replication of the hepatitis B virus in the body but they also have another function: they stimulate the innate immune system, enabling it to attack the virus more efficiently."

AND IT IS RELEASE JUST YESTERDAY! OCTOBER 20, 2011!!!

I wish them the best and I hope that in the next few years , if the treatment is successful in curing HBV, it will be available to the public.
