2 Viral Genetics Update On Chronic Lyme Drug, VGV-L

Today Viral Genetics posted a letter to shareholders with the following information which relates to their experimental chronic Lyme disease candidate, VGV-L.

The letter stated:
"We are still finalizing scheduling a meeting with the FDA and our team to discuss our Lyme disease pre-IND submission from earlier this spring. Scheduling has been difficult with the number of people involved and the looming summer season. Following this meeting we expect to have a clear road map to follow towards clinical trials"

I am looking forward to hearing more about this meeting. It seems there have been a number of delays on the pre-IND road for VGV-L so far, though, and I can't predict when one is going to see progress on getting this treatment to trial stage.

Now might be the time to contact Viral Genetics and begin asking them questions about what sort of ideas they are coming up with in terms of clinical trial design. As a chronic Lyme disease patient reading along, your input may be informative and useful for researchers.

Stay tuned for more updates on VGV-L as I get them.

  1. Have you been able to get in touch with the people involved with VGV-L? I left a message for them a few weeks ago and never heard back.

  2. No, I haven't been trying to get in touch with them, though I have considered writing Dr. Newell Rogers with some questions. Who did you direct your questions to and what did you want to know?
