Thanks Neil!
I do try to do my research. I think Dr. Horwitz was a little surprised when I asked about a current trial he has going that involves injections of T-Cell Depleted Donor Lymphocytes as a way of minimizing GVHD. But it's a fascinating idea, and it's on Duke's webpage for him. That trial is just about full, evidently.
He has another one going that involves giving transplantees a drug that suppresses the secretion of pancreatic enzymes, the idea being that the harsh enzymes might be a cause of gut GVHD, just as UV exposure can be a trigger for GVHD.
Dr. Horwitz indicated that he'd be talking with me about clinical trials, and I'm all for that!
Take care!
Greg
