Dear Knotter,

Any updates, please? It is my understanding that the clinical trial is suspended indefinitely until after Covid. They notified me of the suspended status in May, and I cannot get any reply from the Harvard research team at this point for updates. We are curious to see how patients are doing who are already receiving actual immunomodulatory treatment. I have read of two case study patients with very positive results, and heard of a handful of others and read one positive and one negative report in this thread. Most, however, give no updates on the progress.

Please let us know if your daughter has improved, declined, stayed the same, only had steroids, had Rituximab, Infliximab, or another monoclonal antibody treatment, had IVIg, etc. !

Knowledge is power but compassion and dedication are the keys.

Gratefully,
Aaron
