Sharmin:
Andy,

Do you think this drug would be effective for beta zero patients like my son?

I will try to get more information about where and when phase 3 trials will take place. 

Andy Battaglia:
Yes, I do. The transfusion requirements were down for all the thal majors in the study. Even reducing it my one half would make management so much easier.

Andy Battaglia:
One more thing here. If Dr Antonio Piga is involved, expect it to be a success. He does not chase after false hopes, only good science. His work was instrumental in the development of combination chelation. His work has saved the lives of many patients. I think this drug has true potential.

catchR:
Thanks Andy for the update!! I hope this soon becomes a success and is sold in open markets.

Sharmin:
Thank you Andy, I look forward to this drug being readily available.

Sharmin
