Company To Develop IC Treatment Based Upon Keay's Research

[mela414]

good news!
Do they normally test for APF? I don't remember ever being tested for that in my urine.
I hope they figure out something soon......diet helps a lot but we really need something that allows the baldder to heal.

Hi Diany:
I really don't know..
i was just a patient in the study and my urine did test positive for the APF.
I just sent an email to the company to see if they needed any ic patients for trials.. i have no idea what stage they are in.... Maybe they are further along then we think..... it sounded like they were just starting, but i really don't know.. My hope is that they are further along, but i am sure we will find out something soon..
I hope you are feeling okay today..
It is raining here today and i am in a lot of pain, but a friend just called me and told me that they all have been praying for me and that "everything is going to be okay." I thought that was really sweet and it is making me bear my pain a little better...

This is GREAT news. Someone is paying us serious attention. Also, never give up hope. Someday, our daughters and friends will have cures for this awful disease and our suffering won't be for nothing!

Thanks Jill for posting this.I don't know if I would have been aware of this, had you not posted this news release.. thanks!
I was a part of the University of MD study and i did test positive for the APF (anti-proliferation factor) in my urine. That was at least 6 or 7 years ago. I kept wondering if anyone was going to do anything with this data.
I met Dr. Susan Key during the initial interview for the study and she was a fascinating person. I am just wondering how long it will take now. Patience is a virtue???

I pray it is soon, because they've been telling us that they are close to developing new treatments since the 90's and they've come up with nothing so far. I'm desperately hoping that they come up with a new effective treatment soon because I'm so close to giving up.

Finally, they are going to develop a treatment based on the anti-proliferative factor we've all been hearing about for so long!

I do hope they keep searching for possibilities of what might be causing IC.
Thank God they are not giving up on it.
