Qu Biologics Opens Crohn's Disease Clinical Trial To U.s. Participants
Seven of the ten patients reported full resolution of clinical symptoms with a course of SSI treatment of three months or more. Four of these patients have had sustained clinical remission after discontinuing all medications including SSI treatment. The longest case of clinical remission reported is still ongoing after more than three and a half years. These previous ten patients were treated under a compassionate use program, not a controlled blinded clinical trial, and therefore these results do not provide proof of benefit. Anyone interested in participating in the Crohn's disease clinical trial can take a pre-screening questionnaire at www.qucrohnstrial.com . About Qu Biologics Qu Biologics develops Site Specific Immunomodulators (SSI), a novel class of immunotherapies that aim to reboot the body's immune system. SSIs are designed to stimulate an immune response in targeted organs or tissues to potentially reverse the chronic inflammation underlying many conditions including cancer and autoimmune disease. The company is currently recruiting participants for a Phase 1/2 clinical trial to research SSI therapy for the treatment of Crohn's disease. Backed by a prestigious group of scientific advisors and board members, Qu Biologics is led by a management team that includes co-founder and CEO Dr. Hal Gunn, a physician and expert on the body's immune response to chronic disease, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Simon Sutcliffe, former CEO of the BC Cancer Agency and a distinguished clinician, scientist and leader in cancer control internationally, and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. David Mullins, Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology in the Norris Cotton Cancer Center at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, and recognized expert in immune cell trafficking to tumours.

TOWIEs Sam Faiers opens up about Crohns disease & the future on This Morning
Bosses became so worried at one stage, that they even called in emergency medical staff to treat the blonde beauty. Speaking to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning, Sam admitted that things got pretty dire after the first four or five days in the house. She explained: There were a couple of days in the house where I couldnt even get myself out of bed. My whole body was aching, all my joints were aching. Now Ive done some research and these are all symptoms you get when youre having a flare-up of Crohns Disease. She added: I was shivering cold and there were points when I thought to myself Can I do this?. Faiers says that her mum, who avidly watched CBB every night, knew something was very wrong with her daughter and worried the entire time she was away from home. My mum was watching the show and knew there was something wrong, she added. I am a laid back person but my mum was like [She's] not that quiet. I was getting up, putting my makeup on and sitting on the sofa but I couldnt get involved. Your whole body is almost on a shutdown. Sam has endured weeks of intrusive tests since emerging from the house. Shes had blood tests, scans and a colonoscopy and last Friday it was finally confirmed that shes suffering from Crohns disease (find out more here). She receiving intensive treatment now for the painful symptoms and explained: I am on tablets at the moment. Its really ulcerated. I am on shakes for the next six weeks, I am not eating food. I am giving my bowels a rest for six weeks while it heals from the ulcers and there could be surgery. They can take the worst part of the bowel away and put it back together. Dr Chris sat with Sam on the This Morning sofa today and offered some advice to the star. he told her to keep a food diary, and record anything that may contribute to flare-ups. image source http://www.unrealitytv.co.uk/the-one-and-only/towies-sam-faiers-opens-crohns-disease-future-morning/
