Does anyone know a reasonable timeline, assuming everything works out (big if, I know) between something like this starting Phase I trials and widespread availability?

Are we talking a few years, or like a decade?

I guess it would be more difficult to get approval than the average treatment if it's the first of its kind.

Also I'm not an expert in the field, and there are probably many factors that makes speculation difficult, such as funding, and does-it-work-in-humans, and funding.
