| New Scientist (NEJM): Eight of Strober's 12 trial patients have now been free of immunosuppressive treatment for up to three years, although one died after three years from a heart attack unrelated to the treatment. The other four are still on immunosuppressive drugs, but are being monitored to see if they too can break free. "So far, they've failed to meet our strict drug withdrawal criteria," says Strober. |
