Tovaxin Update
I have officially finished Phase IIb - double blind phase of the Tovaxin clincial trial today. For those of you who have known me for awhile, can you believe it's been a year?
I spent the day at the hospital today getting my blood drawn (oh Taffy, don't look!), MRI, complete physical, neuro exam and then I signed the consent forms for entering Phase III, OLTerms, or Open Label Terms study.
I will know in two weeks if I am still producing those Myelin Reative T-cells so they can make the vaccine. This time I will know if I get the real stuff and not placebo.
They won't unblind us until sometime in November when all 150 of us have officially completed the entire trial. All 150 of us have been dosed, but some have not completed the observation portion of the trial.
That's what I know so far. There have been no adverse events reported in Phase I or II and the drug has been in the system since 1991.
