Statement From Sandra C. Raymond, President and CEO of the Lupus Foundation of America, Inc., Regarding the Landmark Lupus Study
Nov. 24, 2005 01:21 AM
WASHINGTON, DC -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 11/23/05 -- "We applaud the results of a research study on the effectiveness of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) as a potential new treatment for lupus nephritis (lupus kidney disease) which are published in the November 24, 2005 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. The multi-center clinical study found that MMF, or CellCept®, was more effective than the current standard-of-treatment with intravenous cyclophosphamide, and had a better safety profile. CellCept holds the promise of a better quality of life for people with lupus who suffer the debilitating effects of severe lupus kidney disease. Current chemotherapy drugs used to treat lupus nephritis have potentially serious and life threatening side effects that can be worse than the primary disease. It has been more than 30 years since the FDA has approved a new therapy for lupus. The results of this study are encouraging and offer hope that doctors soon will have a safer and more effective treatment alternative that has fewer side effects typically associated with currently-available treatments. Doctors and their lupus patients eagerly await approval of CellCept as a new treatment that will bring lupus under control and allow those affected to look forward to a healthier future."

Only if you were on the dark side of the moon could you have missed the impact of the iPhone. Its sweeping success has brought mobile services into the mainstream. As the first device to convincingly integrate traditional phone capabilities with Web access, it highlights the multi-chan...
Much like “Web 2.0″, cloud computing was a collection of related concepts that people recognized, but didn’t really have a good descriptor for, a definition in search of a term, you could say. When Google CEO Eric Schmidt used it in 2006 to describe their own stuff and then Amaz...
It’s time to wrap up the year 2008 - a year of change with Obama, the Olympic Games and the financial crisis. It was also the year when Yahoo said no to Microsoft. 2009 will be all about Cloud Computing: the technological hype has started already but the commercial breakthrough will ...
There's a new release of OpenSolaris out – OpenSolaris 2008.11 – out a whole three weeks before the end of 2008. There was a 2008.05 release, aka Project Indiana, in May but that wasn’t as commercial or production-oriented as this one. Both run only on x86 machines, not Sun's own...
