A cure for valley fever developed at the University of Arizona is being fast-tracked by the Food and Drug Administration.
Dr. John Galgiani with UA said the drug has been extremely effective on mice with valley fever.
“The potential for this being very safe is pretty large,” he said. “It’s a first-in-class. Nobody has had this kind of strategy before. It’s a pretty exciting drug.”
Galgiani said the FDA has cleared the drug for human testing in 2015.
