Recruiting patient for Thalgen Finally! Good News about Gene Therapy Trials
Andy Battaglia:
Another update from Pat G.
--- Quote ---Yesterday it was reported that the first treated patient made it 40 days before transfusing again and that the second made it 60 days. This is not proof that Thalagen works, as chemo therapeutic agents can also stimulate higher hemoglobin.
We do however know that there is 'Gene Expression' and that the patients have tolerated the treatment without incidence.
--- End quote ---
As always, we have to be patient as this unfolds, but the fact that gene expression is observed is is a major development.
