(Disclosure: I am long HGSI)
This drug may help selected lupus sufferers but it will not be much help to most sufferers. I congratulate the individuals who developed and brought this drug to market. Lupus is a difficult disease that has defied development of new treatments. Hopefully, this drug is just the beginning of new drugs and treatments.
They have apparently run out of catchy drug names.
Too expensive for me! I am the rare male victim and fortunately, its in remission. But I notice the side effects: tiredness, periodic leg muscle spasms, etc. No one likes living with an autoimmune condition. Unlike AIDs, its not necessarily fatal.
