NOW AVAILABLE
The drug by the name Gammora is
manufactured by Israeli company Zion Medical - The drug wipes out 99% of HIV
infected cells in the body - It maximizes on clearing the infected cells
without harming or getting rid of the healthy ones The face of medicine may
soon change after Israeli scientists announced the search for a HIV cure may
have just come to an end. TUKO.co.ke understands Zion Medical, an Israeli
biotech company has developed a drug that can wipe out 99% HIV infected cells
in the human body.
According to the company, the drug
maximizes on clearing the infected cells without harming or getting rid of the
healthy ones. So far, the best treatment for the deadly disease has been
Antiretroviral (ARV) drugs which employ a suppressing technique and help curb
the spread of the virus
Gammora, the new drug, has been said
to have the potential to insert the virus’s genetic material into the DNA of
the infected cell. "These first clinical results were beyond our
expectations and promise hope in finding a cure for a disease that's been discovered
over 35 years," Dr Esmira Naftali opened up. This in turn leads to what
can be termed as self-destruction of the infected cells. Clinical tests of the
groundbreaking drug on humans have proved to be safe and effective. The first
phase of the revolutionary study had nine HIV positive patients who
participated in the trial. Research indicated most of the participants recorded
up to a 90% decrease of the virus within the first four weeks. The second phase
was kicked up a notch and the patients were given a cocktail of the drug and
antiretroviral medicine which saw the virus decrease up to 99%.
