We are so excited and thankful to be able to share that Meredith has been given an opportunity to participate in the Dupixent trial. She has to go through a 3 hour visit with the study physician, have blood work and other tests completed, and we have to sign the Informed Consent for her to participate. As long as everything goes well, she will begin the trial after the initial visit. There will be a good bit of travel involved because the clinical study site is in Norfolk, Virginia. We are blessed to have a great aunt in Chesapeake, Virginia and she is going to let us stay with her when we have to visit the study site. Her home is just 25 minutes away from the study site, so we will be able to get a good night's rest before attending her appointments. We plan to drive back home after each appointment.
We are all very excited, but also nervous. Meredith has a 1 in 3 change of getting a placebo instead of the Dupixent injection. We are praying that she actually gets the medication and that it works. This study has already been completed on adults and adolescents. They had amazing results, so we have great hope that this will be the answer for Meredith.
Please keep us in your prayers as we continue through this journey.
