Hi Ravenstorm.
Well here is the latest on Nemifitide.
I just rang Innapharma and spoke to a really nice friendly man called John.
Not sure if you know the background to this drug (and I don't know much about it myself) but they apparently had to stop human trials as they found out it was toxic to beagles.
Well my friend John :-) advised me that they've now just completed trials on Monkeys, everything went ok, i.e not toxic to monkeys and they believe that the toxic affect was species specific, i.e only specific to beagles. :-) I can't believe I'm writing this.
He tells me they will know for sure in about 30 days after which they'll apply for the FDA to take the drug off "Hold" so they can continue testing on humans. It will take about another Month he reckons to get the FDA to remove the hold.
So we are probably looking at later this year for human trials to start. He told me that they will definately be conducting trials in the States but couldn't say for sure where in the States and might also be conducting trials in countries outside of the States.
Hope this helps. I'll let you know if and when I find out more.
Denise
