Cai Lei issued a New Year's open letter yesterday: History has been rewritten, and ALS will definitely be conquered!Many ALS patients have returned to a healthy life and got rid of the "god of death" after taking treatment drugs.Among them, Xiao Liu, a 29-year-old girl with ALS, has stabilized her condition two years after using the drug developed by Cai Lei's team. She can stand up and live alone to take care of herself, and she can work part-time to make money.
She told the media that she was a little happy now that she could stand up without holding anything, but also a little scared because she was worried about whether she could maintain it forever.
When connected to Cai Lei, she said she didn't know how to repay her. Cai Lei shook his head and said, "She is the luckiest group of people in the past 200 years."
Today, Cai Lei forwarded relevant reports and responded, saying that everyone is paying attention to the fact that Xiao Liu's condition has stabilized after participating in clinical trials of ALS drugs, but the expression "taking medicine" is not accurate enough.
To avoid misunderstanding, Cai Lei said it should be explained: the method of administration is injection, not oral administration.
"This is an important development for domestically produced innovative drugs. Thanks to the country's open policy support, rare disease drugs can quickly advance preclinical and clinical research."
Cai Lei also expressed that he looks forward to the early launch of the drug to benefit more patients.
The following are some true reflections from ALS patients in Cai Lei’s letter:
