Thinking about NIH Campath

Hey Lisa Z!

Did you ever have any luck finding folks who had done Campath in the NIH trial? I gave them a call after reading about your experience, had a great chat with Dr. Matthew Olnes, and am seriously considering giving this trial shot, if they will have me.

I, too, am curious about what experience other folks have had with this drug and this trial.

The nurse coordinator told me most folks go home after the 14 days at NIH in good enough shape to go back to work (or whatever they did prior to admission) without any huge infection precautions (other than the anti-virals and anti-pneumonia stuff they put you on).

Was that your experience?

Thanks,

Greg
