I thought there was someone from the forum in the Phase 1 trail. no? I'm trying to think who it was.... From Hamilton, Ontario area I think. I remember reading they said they were accepted after the interview, but I they had to go to British Columbia or something along those lines.

Prior to this clinical trial, Qu Biologics' QBECO SSI was used in a compassionate use program to treat 12 patients living with inflammatory bowel disease (2 ulcerative colitis, 10 Crohn's disease). All 12 patients had a therapeutic response to treatment, with improvement in symptoms. Nine of the 12 patients went into clinical remission during SSI treatment. Of those patients, four remain in remission today, having continued in sustained remission after discontinuing all medications, including SSI treatment, more than three years ago. These patients have all had a follow-up colonoscopy and/or imaging confirming their remission. It is important to note that data collected in the compassionate use program were neither placebo-controlled nor blinded to the physician or patient. Accordingly, they represent a retrospectively-acquired, cumulative, preliminary experience from which proof of benefit of QBECO SSI treatment cannot be established. However, these observations are promising and are the precedent for the current Health Canada approved clinical studies of QBECO SSI treatment in patients with active, moderate to severe ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease.

Bump.
