November 20, 2008 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the last time the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a treatment for lupus. Lupus Foundation of America (LFA) Medical Director Dr. Joan Merrill and LFA Medical-Scientific Advisory Council Chair Dr. Gary Gilkeson discuss this urgent issue and what LFA has been doing to bring down barriers to lupus drug development.
Great video, great doctors, terrible disease. i am sure if it was a more "high profile" disease we would be further along in finding a cure.
