New drug being tested for SLE treatment
Some exciting news I happened upon today while perusing the Lupus Foundation's blog: there is a new drug announced to help treat moderate to severe SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus). The drug is called epratuzumab. It is said to control symptoms and improve health as quickly as 8-12 weeks.
How awesome would that be?! It's still in the testing process, but to think that there is potentially a drug that will alleviate the long term stresses of the outdated methods of treating this obnoxious illness. I just hope I'm alive long enough to see a cure. They is still a ways to go, but I'm hopeful that it will happen in my lifetime. I want to be put to rest knowing that people will not have to go through the trials and tribulations that are associated with lupus.
