Hi,

I was trying to find the current status of the NeuroVax trials but couldn't find much at all. As far as I can see, Orchestra Therapeutics no longer exist as an active company:

So is NeuroVax dead? Was it actually any good anyway?

Hey Cyclops, I'm glad you found this information. I did a little digging, and buried in an SEC filing from August 2007 is this little nugget (damn):

Quote:
On August 24, 2007 the Company laid off almost all of its employees and discontinued its Neurovax multiple sclerosis trial which was being enrolled in Eastern Europe. The Company has hired a broker and is attempting to sell its HIV manufacturing assets and intellectual property. The proceeds from the sale of these assets will be used to pay its secured and unsecured creditors. The Company is evaluating strategic options related to its autoimmune technology.

Orchestra Therapeutics has thrown in the towel. They filed for liquidation this week. Very sad-

Maybe that's not such bad news. If the company finally closes maybe it will pave the way for someone else to take over the technology.

As a (sort of) scientist myself, I know that a failed experiement can be just as informative as a successful one.
