GenoMed’s West Nile virus trial endorsed by expert

GenoMed has announced the endorsement of its trial for West Nile virus encephalitis by an authority in Emergency Medicine, Dr. Neal Handly.

Dr. Handly is Associate Director of Research for the Department of Emergency Medicine at Drexel University College of Medicine and a Fellow of the American Academy of Emergency Medicine. Dr. Handly chairs the Academy’s Subcommittee on Information Technology.

Dr. Handly said, “GenoMed’s protocol is extremely exciting, since we’re in the grip of another West Nile epidemic this summer without any known treatment. The Emergency Room is where these cases are seen first. It makes sense to have the ER be a partner in a clinical trial.”

Dr. Handly continued, “Dr. Moskowitz uses safe medicines already familiar to every ER physician. What makes his approach appealing is the possibility that it may work for many viruses, including avian influenza and bioterrorist viral attacks. These last two scenarios are of special concern to the Emergency Medicine community.”
