This trial is now in PhaseIIb the results of previous Phases point to very promising outcome in as much as safety and as results...I believe its at the end of phase 3 we would see a product...

Fingers crossed for this one...as SLE is a close cousin...we all so need something substantive in the ways of treatment.

That sounds great!  I hope it works for Lupus patients - what a breakthrough that would be.  Of course, it would be great if it works for SJS as well.  My fingers are crossed.  I keep telling myself that we'll get a big breakthrough in the next 5 years.  I appreciate reading any hopeful research.  Thank you so much for posting.

I hope it works. These tests are overseas from the US. It may take decades to get here.
