Research Papers and Studies
Some news has been publically posted regarding the clinical trial of Soliris (eculizumab) for pediatric patients with atypical HUS. As an independent and unaffiliated organization devoted to education, support, and outreach for aHUS patients and families, this interactive website of the Foundation for Children with Atypical HUS recognizes that some in our community are highly interested in this trial.
The National Institutes of Health posted an overview of the trial on www.clinicaltrials.gov. Utilize the link: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=NCT01193348.
