回复 HBVCURER 的帖子
“没有REP9AC,也不会有ARC520/1”,你这么说ARC的科学家肯定不乐意的
I think you missed the point completely! We are not talking about RNAi, as you know very well, it was a technology looking for a solution and was abandoned by many. Arrowhead initially developed RNAi for HBV with the aim to effect hbvdna reduction, by knocking down some of the viral proteins needed in hbv replication , as in NUCs. Of course they soon realized that ARC520, targeting various viral proteins, will never be as effective as existing NUCs in reducing hbvdna. But then they noticed ARC520 can lower HBsAg, and according to research literature, they know serum HBsAg is an immune suppressor, and maybe from the results of REP9AC, therefore they can sell ARC520 as a drug to lower serum HBsAg, thereby providing a functional cure for HBV. Up to now, there is not a single piece of evidence to show from ARC520 data alone, not even from the chimps, that it can cure HBV. The only evidence that reduction in HBsAg can cure HBV came from REP9AC. So this is the point you missed or refused to acknowledge.
Even now Arrowhead discovered that their knockdown of HBsAg is nowhere deep enough, so attention is turning to HHBeAg, a reduction in theory may lead to e-seroconversion. Other people had pointed this out to them.
siRNA治疗HBV的策略远在siRNA技术诞生之初就有了,ARC520/1也不仅仅靶向HBsAg而是所有的HBV mRNA/antigen。至于说通过降低HBsAg的策略来消除免疫耐受实现血清学转换,也并非是Replicor的原创。
REP9AC在2010年最初报道的时候,就号称仅通过短短数月的单药治疗使60%以上的患者实现了HBsAb的阳转!5年过去了,Replicor的药物候选换了又换,名字改了又改,可是实际效果似乎却没跟上,HBsAb的高阳转率没了,反而要开始和干扰素联合治疗了.
Again, I don't know how closely you followed REP9AC's clinical trials results (BTW the Dr who conducted the clinical trial for Replicor in Bangladesh is the very same Dr who conducted the Phase II/III for ABX203), in 2009 they did announce patients had lost HBsAg and developed HBsAb (easily deduced, HBsAb was always there, but it was neutralized by the excessive HBsAg, with no or minimal HBsAg, HBsAab becomes excessive). You are right, at follow-up, the results were not durable. So they experimented with Interferon and Zadaxin, and now they conclude:
"The second discovery has been to understand the role of surface antigen. Replicor’s hypothesis, which has now been proven in four separate human clinical trials, is that by reducing and eliminating surface antigen with NAPs, the immune system is allowed to recover and regain control of the infection. More importantly, in those patients where removing HBsAg was not enough to restore immune control, the elimination of HBsAg greatly improved their response to immunotherapy compared to patients receiving immunotherapy without the benefit of HBsAg removal. This combination treatment of NAP-based HBsAg removal and concomitant immunotherapy results in high rates of restoration of immune control over HBV infection off treatment. "
最后说点内幕吧。有几家公司(名字不说了,都是大牌),曾经私下合成过Replicor的NAPs(结构本身不是秘密),然后在细胞及动物模型上测试过,都没看到相应的效果(当然,也可能是他们合成的不对)。所以Replicor至今没有大公司提出收购,也没有其他公司跟随他家的策略。
Well, we have to take your words for it. If you read the recent research literature, REP9AC results in test tube and animal models have been verified by well known scientists from research institutes from Europe. Hard to conclude they are part of the conspiracy, after all, they put their names as authors of the studies. BTW, the pre-clinical studies of REP9AC were done in Australia by a PHD student, her thesis is in the public domain. So this is as transparent and factual as you can get. This student is now a PHD and researcher in her home country.
Yes, the components of REP9AC are well known. Studyforhope from Medhelp can even find you labs that can make up the compound for you.
这在药物研发领域还是比较少见的。任何研发策略,比如核衣壳抑制剂,比如siRNA,再比如治疗型疫苗,任何一种策略,都可以看到两家甚至更多家研发团队的跟进和竞争,即便有技术上的专利保护也不大可能一家垄断。
This are rather unsophisticated reasons. REP9AC has potential hurdles. It is now administered by infusion only, hardly convenient as a drug candidate without further development. And maybe big companies cannot agree on a reasonable price and cannot see profit in a short time.
当然,如果Replicor最终能用公开透明的临床实验的结果打翻所有质疑,让这个领域所有的大公司大跌眼镜俯首称臣,也是一段传奇。我个人很希望看到这样的结果,这也是所有HBV患者的大福音。
According to you, their results are not "transparent". This is strange, considering that they have published abstracts and given oral presentations, at all the leading HBV conferences!, some even by invitation! I think it was Dr Locarnini who gave an introduction to REP9AC in its first international conference. Dr Locarnini of course now consults for Arrowhead and you seem to have no complaint about his transparency when he suggests hbvdna integration in chimps model can be extended to humans.
I understand you had rejected REP9AC because you said "they wanted only money". Why talk money if you don't believe in their claims? If you really have any evidence that REP9Ac does not reduce serum HBsAg, please show them, this is what I would wish to see and really appreciate! |
