Make a difference for those with Crohn’s and other MAP-related conditions this holiday season! Giving Tuesday 2019 is fast approaching on December 3, 2019. Human Para is raising funds for new MAP research projects. We have been working diligently with Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, McGill University and Otakaro Pathways on a pilot testing study. As always, ALL funds raised on #GivingTuesday will go directly to MAP research. Please help us by supporting high quality MAP research this giving season.  

Human Para’s inaugural MAP testing study is nearing completion. A total of 201 participants donated a blood sample at locations in Orlando, Philadelphia and New York City between May and September 2018. Blinded samples were sent to 6 research laboratories around the world, and MAP testing was completed by a variety of methods, including culture, PCR and antibody assays. Read about our progress, a Phase 2 add on portion of the study currently being conducted, and when these results will be published!

Due to the recent success of RedHill Biopharma’s Stage 3 trial of RHB-104, more patients and doctors have become interested in Atypical Mycobacterial Antibiotic Therapy  (AMAT) as a treatment option for chronic immune conditions, such as Crohn’s disease and multiple sclerosis. RHB-104 contains a triple combination of antibiotics that showed significant effectiveness in Crohn’s disease, and includes clarithromycin, Rifabutin and clofazimine. While clarithromycin and Rifabutin are easily available worldwide, clofazimine is not. Read a first hand account from one man’s journey to legally obtain clofazimine for treatment of Crohn’s disease.
