Amazon Biotech Initiates Negotiations Subsequent to Receiving "Go Ahead" From FDA for Phase I/II HIV Clinical Trial
Posted on: Monday, 10 July 2006, 18:00 CDT
Amazon Biotech, Inc. (OTCBB: AMZB) (FRANKFURT: B2D) announced today that it has begun to negotiate with both hospital and private HIV clinics as potential sites for the company's upcoming trial. This comes on the heels of the company's successful negotiations of a phase I/II protocol with the FDA.
The approved protocol is designed to test the safety, immunological and antiviral effects of AMZ0026, Amazon Biotech's anti-HIV parent formula. The double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial design involves 32 non-symptomatic HIV subjects who have yet to be treated with Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy (HAART). The six-month study will include the monitoring of T Cell increases and HIV plasma viral load decreases.
Dr. Mechael Kanovsky, President of Amazon Biotech, explained, "We are eager to start our phase I/II study as soon as possible. We hope to finalize the negotiations on the sites for our study in the very near future. This will take us one step closer in providing the data needed on the safety and efficacy of our drug AMZ0026."
