This is really interesting. I spoke with one of their Doctors about a year a go to see if I could get in the clinical trial. I was told that I couldn't due to PSA being to low. It lookd like they are on to something. Lets hope.

Linked another thread to this one (duplicate) and made the title here more descriptive.

There are several companies working on oncolytic virus therapies.

Agree, very interesting.

"CZ BioMed Corp. is a privately held Biotechnology company based in Tampa, FL, focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of a new class of high-tech biological products for the treatment of a wide variety of human cancers."

Like Howard I, my PSA would be too low to qualify for any clinical trials but distance wise, I am only a little over an hour north of Tampa.

I am assuming the Peter V referenced in the article is a patient of Dr. Charles "Snuffy" Myers who works closely with the Dattoli Clinic in Sarasota, his doctor when Myers was being treated for advanced PCa..

Thanks for posting.

The original trials were done some place in Mexico. I forgot which city. If I remember correctly it took a week to have the injections. At least that is what I remeber.

It would be a lot more interesting if the single patient was not being treated with Lupron at the same time...What part of the results were caused by the Lupron and what part by the new drug??

These days there is a lot of combination therapy going on, as many hope that two or three in combination do more than any of them individually would

I have never heard of Lupron alone getting those kind of results.

I know what you are saying from a future diagnosis stand point, that it would be nice to know what part of the results were caused by the Lupron and what part by the new drug, but if they work together anywhere close to that level of effectiveness on me, I am not concerned which of the 2 drugs gets top billing.
