  2061: Odyssey Three - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2061: Odyssey Three is a science fiction novel written by Arthur C. Clarke in 1987.
Deciding not to wait, Clarke instead took his inspiration from the approach of Comet Halley in 1986 and focused his sequel on the comet's future return, in 2061.
In 2061, at the age of 103, Floyd is chosen as one of several "celebrity guests" to come aboard the Universe for the first ever landing on Halley's Comet which is now making its pass through the solar system once more.

 BILN 2061 HCV Protease Inhibitor Development Held Due to Toxicity
Methods: The antiviral efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and tolerability of 25, 200, and 500 mg BILN 2061 twice daily given as monotherapy for 2 days in 31 patients infected with chronic genotype 1 HCV infection and with minimal liver fibrosis (Ishak score of 0--2) were assessed in a placebo-controlled, double-blind pilot study.
BILN 2061 is a peptidomimetic and a potent and specific inhibitor of HCV serine protease, as described previously.24 Preclinical studies have shown that BILN 2061 is orally bioavailable in several animal species.
BILN 2061 (single oral doses of 5--2400 mg/day) or placebo was administered to healthy male volunteers in a dose-escalation study.25 No drug-related adverse effects were noted at doses up to 2000 mg/day, and BILN 2061 was well tolerated.

In 2 subsequent placebo-controlled studies of similar design, 200 mg BILN 2061 twice daily was administered for 2 days to 10 patients with advanced liver fibrosis (Ishak score of 3 or 4) and to 10 patients with compensated cirrhosis (Ishak score of 5 or 6).

 JCE 1996 (73) 287 [Apr] A Decade of Project 2061
The general strategy of Project 2061 was to forge a consensus on learning goals as the basis for all other changes to the system of science education.
To illustrate the flexibility of this approach, Project 2061 established school district teams in six diverse geographical areas--three rural school districts in Georgia; the school districts in Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, and San Francisco; and a small suburban school district near Madison, Wisconsin.
In the course of the last 10 years, Project 2061 has produced a wide spectrum of resources describing most of the developments that occurred during the evaluation of the project.

In two, subsequent, placebo controlled studies of similar design, 200 mg bid BILN 2061 was administered for two days to 10 patients with advanced liver fibrosis (Ishak score 3-4) and to 10 patients with compensated cirrhosis (Ishak 5-6).
Conclusions: BILN 2061 is a well tolerated and very active compound, which reduced serum viral RNA concentrations after two days of treatment in patients infected with genotype 1 HCV independent from the degree of fibrosis.
