TPA Trial

Hi Birgitta
From what I understand, the steriod (dexamethasone) and aspirin (choline magenesium trisalicylate) are what they found to use to counter the side effects from Phase I....taken on both sides of transfusion for 24 hours of TPA dosage....the fact that the TPA has been around a while is encouraging and especially with the fact that both the steriod and TPA have shown anti Leukemic properties........
All I can do is try...and hope!
