I was curious too. When I read about it online it sounds like another brand of IVIG. Not too exciting! I was hoping for some new type of treatment lol.

Joerg:

That one sound interesting....for me it would be SLE. I'm not sure what it is and not sure if I'd be able to use it because I have adverse reactions to biologics. Maybe this isn't one of those.

That one is in phase 2, so it will be awhile. However it is exciting to know treatments are being developed.

What is SLE?

Cheers
