Frexalimab and Lupus: What Do You Think?
Top Replies
I think it's great that there are ongoing efforts to find new treatments for lupus. I've participated in a few clinical trials myself, and I can say that it's an empowering experience to be part of the research process. I'm hopeful that Frexalimab can make a difference for those living with lupus, but I also know that it's important to manage expectations. After all, clinical trials are designed to test the safety and efficacy of new treatments, and there's always a chance that they may not work as intended.
As a rheumatologist, I'm always encouraged by the development of new therapies for autoimmune diseases like lupus. Frexalimab is an interesting candidate because it's an anti-BAFF monoclonal antibody, which has shown promise in previous studies. However, it's important to remember that each patient's experience with lupus is unique, and what works for one person might not work for another. That's why it's crucial to have a diverse range of treatment options and ongoing research to find the most effective and safe therapies.
I understand that some people might be hesitant to participate in clinical trials due to concerns about side effects or the experimental nature of the treatment. However, clinical trials are tightly regulated and closely monitored to ensure the safety of participants. In fact, many new treatments and medications available today were first tested and developed through clinical trials. So, if you're living with lupus or another autoimmune disease, it might be worth considering clinical trials as an option for accessing new treatments and contributing to medical research.
