I'm not sure if information on this study has already been posted.
I thought it sounded promising.

It is just supposed to be a more sensitive PCR (down to .0032% IS, which is 4.5 log reduction) to determine if the patient is truly in PCRU status. Not sure that is much improvement, but maybe a little. By the way, Dr Brian Druker is the founder of the company MolecularMD which is developing this PCR test process.

Thanks for the information, Trey.
The fact that Dr. Druker is involved seems like a hopeful sign.
