Promising Study - Fresolimumab

[Randy]

Hi Everyone,

I don't know if you saw this study out of Boston, but I thought it was one of the most promising ones I have seen in the last 8 yrs. As far as I can tell, it does NOT appear to be an immunosuppressant drug.

Hey Randy - That is an interesting study with promising results. Hopefully it will prove itself in the placebo study. Nice to hear some positive news! Hope you are doing well.

Thanks for sharing, Randy. I will look it over while catching up on some reading this weekend. Hope you're hanging in there as the rest of us are trying to do!

I just read/scanned the articles--pretty high-tech stuff. I think there are still lots of variables to consider, but it is definitely going in the right direction to find 'treatments' for this lousy disease we suffer with. I hope they will be providing follow-up articles to continue monitoring the results of the studies.
