Another drug trial - who knows if this will ever reach the masses? (or how safe it is!)

I liked the line:

"These were highly significant impressive clinical results and some of the happiest patients I have had the pleasure of treating."

I want to be that happy!!!

I was going to post a similar article myself. Not sure if it is mentioned, but they are looking to get European approval early next year. The results certainly seem very impressive, so I hope that NICE sees fit to approve it and that UK patients get access to it.

In my experiences so far NICE is such a misnomer

"Ustekinumab is a very high performance drug, utterly much more effective for psoriasis than any currently available agent," lead investigator Craig Leonardi, MD, an associate clinical professor of dermatology from St. Louis University Medical School in Missouri, told Medscape Dermatology. "Patients had a terrific response, it's infrequently administered, and the best part is that its safety profile is very clean." "

lets hope this becomes avaliable soon it would be fantastic for there to be something that doesnt have to be used all the time and that actually works,it would certainly make a huge difference to p sufferers lives.
