我昨天发邮件询问了Michel Bazinet, MD此药物的具体信息。。今天就给回复了。回复如下。本人英文水平有限抱着试试的态度发的。没想到回了。大家给具体翻译下。
Thank you for your interest in our drug. We are still early in the clinical trial and cannot release much information yet. Our drug interacts with surface antigen (HBsAg) and prevents its release from infected hepatocytes. This results in a gradual reduction of surface antigen in the blood. Many scientific papers have suggested that surface antigen suppresses the immune response to the virus and allow the infection to be chronically maintained in the liver. By eliminating the surface antigen from the blood, it appears that we allow the immune system to mount an effective response against the virus and this can result in a clearance of the viral infection from the liver. In other words, by removing the surface antigen from the blood, we give the patient the ability to fight his hepatitis B infection on his own.
The interaction between our drug and surface antigen occurs over a large surface area. Therefore, resistance to the drug will be very unlikely.
It is too early to comment on side effects since we have treated only a few patients but it appears that the drug will be much easier to tolerate than interferon.
We do not have approval to do a clinical study in China at this time.
We are trying to go as fast as possible to bring this drug to patients but it will likely take a few years before it is approved and available for use. We are currently trying to raise funds to accelerate the recruitment of patients in our clinical trial.
The best way you can understand the potential of our drug is by understanding the importance of surface antigen in suppressing the ability of the immune response to fight the infection. I have listed below some of the scientific references that discuss this topic (many of these papers were published by Chinese scientists). These papers are very technical in nature but there might be scientists in your group that can understand them.
Best regards. |
