Hey Everyone.
You may or may not know about the "Site Specific Immunomodulation" (SSI) treatment by Qu Biologics which they are testing in people with Crohn's disease. They are currently in their phase I/II clinical trial and I just got word that they recently not only received approval to allow US residents into it, but THEY HAVE A STIPEND TOWARDS YOUR TRAVEL EXPENSES THAT SHOULD COVER MOST PEOPLE 100%!. What's amazing about SSI and why I really want this community to help them fill their trial is:
1. The treatment appears to have very little in the way of side effects. Mostly soreness at the injection site or occasionally flu-like symptoms.
2. The treatment seems to work VERY well to the point of putting some people into sustained remission and off all their medications.
3. The company is a small startup and is led by a super cool doctor/CEO (read his interview here: http://www.crohnsforum.com/showthread.php?t=43965)
Now, will it definitely work for you or is it the best option for you? I don't know. That is a conversation for you and your doctor and questions you should pose to Qu Biologics if you're interested. But it's an exciting new option and the more options people have, the better.
Here's where we come in. Not only do I think some of you would potentially benefit from this treatment, but because they're such a small company, they don't have the millions of dollars and connections with doctors around the world that big pharmaceutical companies do to make sure their trials get filled with people. Yet here they have this potentially highly effective treatment with very little side effects. How big of a tragedy would it be if the trial doesn't get filled (they have a lot of spots to fill yet) and this would have been a great treatment option? As such:

PLEASE help spread the word about this clinical trial. It's time for people with Crohn's disease to have access to a potentially remission inducing treatment with what appears to be few side effects. Let's show the power of this community!
