I have a theory with the fortnightly dosing. It has been mentioned by others
We know that safety has been satisfied. We know that levels of dox are being cleaved to the tumour area and that little is escaping into the bloodstream to damage other organs. We know that in a few cases the dox levels are high enough to achieve spectacular results but we don’t have the actual clinical trial figures for the other patients to see what has happened in their cases.
Uncleaved AVA6000 gets excreted from the body. I imagine this depends on many factors: characteristics of the tumour itself, volume of blood supply to the tumour, patient’s health, metabolism etc. Just suppose the AVA6000 in some cases is being flushed from the body thus diluting the dosage level in the blood, too quickly to be cleaved by the FAP as quickly as is desired? It would make sense to try dosing fortnightly thus keeping AVA6000 levels in blood higher for longer and achieving better results. Also this information would be a must in order to inform P2 dosing regime. And of course the safety of AVA6000 allows this more frequent dosing.
Just a thought.
