An Australian-developed melanoma treatment could be available in hospitals within five years after a number of terminal patients in early trials had been declared free of the disease. Queensland Premier Peter Beattie told Bio2003 in Washington phase three trials of the anti-melanoma vaccine were under way - the final hurdle before the product could be registered. "Queensland is leading the way in the global race to find a treatment for this very malignant skin cancer," Mr Beattie said in a statement. The human trials follow recent registration by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), Australia's drug regulator, allowing the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) to produce and supply drugs for use in phase one, two and three trials. The melanoma trial's principal investigator Chris Schmidt said the latest
placebo-controlled trial would treat 200 patients with melanoma from around
Queensland.

 "A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C. Jarvis, September 28, 1820 "What's the point of vaccination if it doesn't protect you from the unvaccinated?" -- Sandy Gottstein "Who gets to decide what the greater good is and how many will be sacrificed to it?" -- Sandy Gottstein |
