I haven't been to this site in quite awhile. My great nephew, Gregg has Idiopathic Aplastic Anemia. Last Friday he went to Strong Memorial to have yet another Spinal Tap procedure. His doctor was to do a 'cross/match', in the attempt to find a suitable marrow donor. But it seems that after consulting with other doctors, they have decided to start Gregg on a new treatment.
My question is this: Has anyone on this Forum heard of the drug for this treatment....Daclizumab (Zenapax)???
Gregg is to undergo this treatment every 2 weeks for 12 weeks. His doctors have said that it 'could' put him into remission. Of course we are all in the hopes that it will do just that! But I told his mother that I would ask at this Forum to find out if others have tried this particular treatment.
Hoping to hear back from someone on this.
Thanks so much,
Kate
