My daughter (dx at 15 1/2 in 2009) had the Rabbit ATG frist (3/2009).
After no response, we entered a clinical trial (for this very study you are discussing) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In October 2009, she has her second round IST with Horse ATG. By March 2010 she had a partial response...to date, she is still in the same place with a partial response.
I certainly hope there will be more improvement, but we wait...
If she does relapse, my choice would be to do another round of IST with Horse ATG (since she does not have a bone marrow donor).
