I have been very excited by Roche's news about its therapuetic vaccine, TG-4001 because it is having successful results at clearing up cervical dysplasia caused by HPV-16. But is anyone familiar with Stressgen/Nventa Biopharmaceutical's HspE7? They are in clinical trial, right now, with a therapuetic vaccine designed to clear up HPV-caused diseases.
It warms my heart to know there are companies out there actually interested in developing medication to treat HPV-caused disease rather than just focus on vaccinating children from getting infected. While I think protecting children from a deadly virus is critical, those of us who have been infected with HPV are at much higher risk. The current methods of partial amputation just aren't good enough at protecting people's lives for the long term.
I'm also curious to know if there are any other companies out there developing therapuetic medication.
