Mike Havrilla submits:On 11/17/09, GeoVax (GOVX.OB) announced that the FDA has granted its request for a pre-IND meeting to discuss the proposed Investigational New Drug (IND) application for the Company’s therapeutic vaccine as a treatment for individuals already infected with HIV. The meeting will only take place if the Company is not satisfied or requires some clarification to the FDA's answers to the questions submitted in the pre-IND package. Following the FDA response to the Pre-IND meeting questions, GeoVax will prepare and submit to the FDA an IND application for the therapeutic trial. A new IND with the FDA is required since this will be the first time the GeoVax vaccine will be used for a therapeutic application. The IND process is expected to take a number of months to complete and based on the Company's current progress, commencement of the trial is targeted for early 2010.Complete Story »
