Hard to Treat Diseases, from Delray Beach, FL, has said that its anti-cancer drug, Tubercin, has passed the toxicity tests required to proceed to the live cancer trials.

Testing Tubercin on live melanoma, lung and breast cancer cells will begin immediately. The president and ceo, Mr Colm King said: 'These are the most promising results to date regarding Tubercin and we're looking forward to additional positive results in the near future. These tests prove that it is non-toxic and is the first step on the way to human clinical trials as well as the first positive breakthrough conducted in the United States with an independent medical group for Tubercin.'

Hard to Treat Diseases holds the international marketing rights, except South Korea, to Tubercin, a patented immunostimulant developed for combating Cancer. It is a carbohydrate complex, which is a mixture of low molecular-weight polysaccharides of an arabinomannan structure extracted from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and is said to be highly effective in treating various cancer patients without incurring any adverse side effects. The drug may also help in the treatment of AIDS, whose mechanism works by killing T-cells. Because Tubercin helps maintain healthy T-cells, Hard To Treat Diseases is focusing its research to the application of Tubercin in helping AIDS patients.
