finished a clinical trial of ABT 874

I'm new to this forum. I began a clinical trial of ABT 874 a year and a half ago. It was working quite well. Aboutt Pharmaceuticals discontinued the trial abruptly in March. April I began Humira and Prednisone to counter the rebound effect that took place. Anyone else out there participate in this trial and have a similar problem.

Hi Morbyrne, we're so glad you checked back in. Something went haywire for a few days a couple of weeks back.

Did Abbott pharm ever give a reason for ending the trial?

Thank you Mark,
I was told that there are better proven medicines available. The drug was in it's Stage II clinical trial and is given IV monthly. I hope it eventually becomes approved as it was quite effective.
Again thank you for the support.

Hi Julie!! That sounds like a "we're afraid if they ever find out the real reason, there will be a class action lawsuit" reason. I would think all good options should be studied to the fullest since so many drugs lose their effectiveness over time.

Are you off the pred now? and is the humira working well for you?

I wish you well.
