I've been screening for the last 2 weeks for a drug trial. I don't believe it has a name yet as my paperwork says "GS-5745." I should find out next week (had a flex sig Monday) to see if I qualify.

Just to back track I took Entyvio for around 14 months. It worked a tiny bit but not enough to continue on it.

I'm assuming it's another biologic?

Based on google it is an "MMP9 mAb inhibitor". To qualify for the study you must have failed 2 biologics.

Oh I could have done it. I was sick of being a medical experiment. It will be nice to be done with this stupid illness. I feel like I already am. No more UC symptoms :)

I know....I'm about tired of fighting. My disease is moderate to severe to 25cm. The worse being the 12-15 area. I did have 3 ulcers that healed from last scope.

its anti-MMP9 antibody GS-5745 forward in clinical development for ulcerative colitis and gastric cancer in 2015, per the Abzena website.
