We are all waiting for a day when thalassemia and related hemoglobinopathies are
completely and safely curable. What this
preliminary news is telling us is that the conditioning and treatment appears
to be safe and there do not appear to be significant side effects
at this time. This is major, major and wonderful news - because the only
other known cure - BMT - is a grueling procedure plagued with major side effects and
life threatening risks. To know that this form of gene therapy - were it to be successful - seems
to be safe - is exactly what we need to hear.
I pray that the trials are successful with the low chemo
preparation presently being used - and if additional prep is required
I pray that it won't require high doses and certainly not myeloablation.
Praying for the best
Sagar:
thanks andy for providing the information. I pray that the treatment is successful and all the patients are cured. God bless all
Pratik:
It cannot be any other great than May 08 (World Thal Day) to hear this news. :)
Thanks Andy and I hope we all shall see the ray of light, the ray of hope, soon.
