(1/7) > >>

Andy Battaglia:
Errant Gene Therapeutics, LLC™, hopes to begin Thalagen™: Gene Therapy Treatment for Thalassemia trials by June 2008.


I contacted EGT and received the following responses from Pat Girondi, CEO of EGT.


--- Quote ---Dear Andy,
 
Thanks for your interest. Actually there are a lot of things going on. We hope to be in our first patients by June of '08'. 5 patients will be treated at Sloan Kettering and  5 at NIH.
 
There is a link being put up to view the last FDA-NIH meeting. It was called RAC. WE got through it and are beginning to write the IND.
 
Thanks for all that you do for the people with Thalassemia.
 
The link will be posted on myspace.com/patgirondi shortly.
 
Thanks.

We will need about 3,000,000 USD this year.
 
You could do me a big favor by sending people to the www.Myspace.com/patgirondi.
 
If for example they buy a CD for 13 bucks we see all 13 for research thanks to the kindness of Street Factory Music Records in Chicago.
 
Thanks again.

$3,000,000 will be needed to get this going. Some funding will surely come from government and also private foundations and donors, but much more will be needed, so think about ordering the cd. 100% of the money raised will go towards this effort. Ask your friends and family to order the cd.
