We're very excited about that work; they've already hired up to 25 people
according to them as they've told us; they also have ten members of the
Chinese CDC that their scientists will be working on our programs. PPD
China--our partner PPD worldwide, their Chinese office--is already
working with the new entity and our partners to design the clinical trials
in China. They just got their estimates to do Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3;
and after next week, once we get our final readout on the complete
vaccine, we will ship them Phase 1 and 2 materials so they can start their
trials immediately.
They believe that they can do their trials a lot quicker than we can; the
CDC of China is one of our partners--they're our technical partner there--
so, they're going to be spearheading a lot of that effort with their
scientists to get this through the clinic as quickly as possible. So, that's
very exciting for us; we'll also have access to the data they'll do in FDAassociated guidelines, so we'll be able to utilize some of that data as well
as they get moving.
