Both my husband and his mother are participants in CAL-101 trials. They are now both in the extended phase, but began in separate studies. John's treatment: CAL-101 as single agent. Marian's treatment: CAL-101 in combination with Rituxan.
Both patients are presently doing well. However, Marian was one of the 24% who had a very serious bout with pneumonia last January. What this article described is exactly what happened to her. Her primary care physician diagnosed her with bronchitis and dehydration, treated her and sent her home. We then got her to Dr. Flinn immediately (because she got worse overnight) and he admitted her with a pneumonia diagnosis. It took three weeks in the hospital to get her on the road back to health. But she is now fully recovered, no recurrences of any lung inflammation and says she feels great.
