Just got off the phone with Dr in Chicago using it in a T1D trial. This is an entirely different discussion. Very exciting. Already worked in 40 monkeys. First patient dosed in April. Stock already waking up. I just made a very large transfer into Robinhood.
It’s also being used in a trial for kidney transplant patients. The normal immunosuppression for kidney and islet transplant (and all other organs) is tacrolimus which is a horrible drug. Nephrotoxic, neurotoxic, causes hypertension. GFR <50. Kidneys only last average of 10 years.
Imagine a kidney transplant without the toxicity and GFR of 60-90. How long could these kidneys last? Maybe much longer than 10 years. If I had a transplanted kidney, I would demand to go on this medication and off tacro.
This could completely revolutionize immunosuppression for transplantation. Tacro will be out of this works. All signs point towards working. I know a guy that has been trying to get this drug in trials for a LONG time, his story is unbelievable and had me on the edge of my seat.
