TGN 1412 drug trial - the awful aftermath


The Daily Telegraph reports on long-term consequences in some of the TGN1412 victims:

Last week Mr Day passed on a medical assessment by the immunologist Prof Richard Powell to his clients, who include Nav Modi, 24, from Forest Gate, east London, and three other men aged 19, 30 and 29.

Prof Powell wrote of patient A, the 30-year-old: “It is highly likely (more than 50 per cent) that A will develop auto-immune diseases and has definite early signs that a lymphoid malignancy is developing.”

The man, who has not been named, is to meet doctors in the next few weeks to decide on a course of treatment. There is optimism about his chances of survival if it is dealt with at an early stage.

TeGenero has already gone bust. And Parexel dont look to happy either!
