Campath trial results
Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2005 4:27 am
Dear all,
This should be in the Campath 1-H section but I thought it might be best to highlight it under general discussion. Campath looked very promising in terms of reducing relapse rates etc but initial trial data from the Phase II trial shows that there are very risky side-effects (wouldn't be MS if there wasn't!).
I went to see Dr Coles (based in Cambridge, England) to see if I could get on the trial. I met him earlier this year and he was very different to the person who had responded to my letter. I suspect that he had started to hear about some of the side effects (Raven mentioned a death in one of his postings).
I now look to Tovaxin to deliver (it looks safe and doesn't completely wreck your immuine system as do some of the more potent treatments).
