Perhaps that one has an incurable disease will be less
If you remember, one of the signature phrases of Dr. house, in addition to the famous «All people lie», was the phrase «It's not lupus». Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic infectious-allergic disease belonging to the group of autoimmune diseases and accompanied by lesions of the skin, joints, internal organs and severe sensitivity to sunlight. It is believed that this condition is virtually untreatable. But a major study conducted by Professor Monash University Eric Morand, for the first time, gives real hope that a cure will be available.
How to cure lupus?
The Results of a large international study that lasted for 3 years, and which was attended by over 360 people aged 18 to 70 with systemic lupus erythematosus, has shown that the disease may still be curable. Long-term work of an international group of scientists , should make a difference for millions of patients. The final phase of the research showed that the drug animalhuman (anifrolumab) is effective for the treatment of lupus in humans.
Animalman is a human antibody, which are sensitive to the protein interferon the first type that trigger inflammation in the body in lupus. Treatment animalanimal blocks the receptors that interferon in all cells of the body, reducing the activity of the disease. — say the authors.
Clinical trials were divided into two stages — TULIP 1 TULIP and 2, which were held in the period from 2015 to 2018. The results of the first phase, introduced last year, did not show statistical significance in reducing disease activity in people while taking animalhuman in comparison with the patients from the placebo group. Then the researchers almost gave up. But still decided on a second test phase. They waited for the unexpected result. If you are interested in this topic, then subscribe to .
During the second phase, TULIP 2, participants intravenously injected 300 milligrams animalhuman every four weeks for 48 weeks. 52 weeks after the start of treatment the majority of participants had seen an overall reduction in disease activity in all organs, the improvement of the skin. Moreover, patients also potrebovali to take less steroid drugs (shown in lupus), and over time doctors have participants experience a decrease in the annual rate of outbreaks of disease, which include fever, tenderness and swelling of joints, fatigue, rash, and ulcers in the mouth or nose.
Now the team plans to obtain permits, and then will need to wait for verification of the drug organizations control like the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). If all these steps are successful, then the drug will appear in stores. About the cost of the drug, of course, know nothing, but I hope that it will be available to ordinary people. After all, according to the world health organization, worldwide more than 5 million people (among which 90% — are women) suffer from this disease for which there is no cure.
