There is a brand new drug on the horizon that will be starting clinical trials shortly. It sounds very promising,

Thanks for posting! If anyone can track down the full results or paper of the trial I would be very interested to see it and appreciate it greatly, 65% remission rates at two weeks sounds awesome but I'd love to see what the results were towards the end of the trial.

Looks exciting. Here are a couple links I found. Nothing too recent, most is end of Oct but still...

From what I can see it was only a 12 week trial and the goal was remission sustained for 2 weeks. Not great for long term info but it is an awesome start.

How long does it take for meds to get approved and through all the trials?
