When every drug becomes a possibility
Dr. David Fajgenbaum remembers the moment clearly. Lying in a hospital bed, the medical student turned patient faced a harsh reality: the drugs designed for his rare disease, Castleman disease, weren’t effective. In fact, he had almost already died five times. But David then had a radical thought: What if the answer wasn’t a new drug at all, but an old one used in a completely different way?
Twelve years later, David is still enjoying remission from the existing drug he found after much slow and meticulous research.
