Huh? Here is what SRGN lists as side-effects. Bear in mind 37% withdrawal b/c of adverse events The last line doesn't instill confidence in me.
>>Adverse Events Associated with Clinical Trials of Fusion Proteins

In all clinical trials of Seragen's fusion proteins described in this document, and as commonly noted during investigation of and treatment with most, if not all, biological agents, adverse events associated with administration of the particular fusion protein under investigation did occur.
These events included, but were not limited to, flu-like symptoms, rash, and transient elevation of liver enzyme (transaminase) levels. Some patients have experienced adverse events requiring hospitalization. These adverse events included problems associated with the patients' underlying disease as well as those associated with treatment. In some cases, patients experiencing adverse events discontinued participation in the trial.

Further testing in a larger number of patients is required to determine the safety and effectiveness of Seragen's fusion proteins in psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, HIV infection and solid tumor cancers. Further testing may also be required to determine the safety and effectiveness of DAB389IL-2 in CTCL.<<
