Some interesting discussion about RIGL on the munch thread, starting approximately here:

Message 24522534

Thought I would attempt to continue this here instead.

With regards to efficacy RIGL highlighted the fact that during randomized treatment patients with dose reductions continued to experience progressive improvement in ACR scores and actually had greater improvements in ACR 20, 50 and 70 scores than patients not requiring dose reduction.

That's very interesting. I had been concerned by an apparently narrow therapeutic window, but this suggests that maybe it's just a question of individualized dose titration instead.

The upcoming b-cell lymphoma results should be interesting - there's an interesting recent article suggesting the theoretical basis for how this might work.

BTW, curcumin (from turmeric) appears to be something of a SYK inhibitor too.
