Norwegian Fluge & Mella daratumumab Haukeland trial now accepting international donations

[V.R.T.]

Yeah, we have 1.15M here and 4M here. Maybe they have received a huge donation over the past few weeks, but it seems unlikely.

I mean, they do say that the study is funded by patients and patient organisations, so maybe a patient org has stepped up and done the right thing. But it could be the ME funds original 4 million NOK.

I really hope it's true but I'm not counting my chickens until it's confirmed.

Multiple people that should be in the know confirms in an (essentially public) fb group that the numbers are correct. Turns out that they only needed 8M NOK more when the study was announced.

I can’t find any public info about it before today, so it seem like there has been a lack of clarity in the communication and/or a misunderstanding by me and others about what they meant.

This presumably means that they’ve raised 2.5M NOK in a few months.

I don’t know where the initial 18M NOK came from, other than the 4M NOK from the ME-fund.

Regardless, the bottom line and good news is that they’ve almost secured all of the required funding!

This is an amazing reversal of fortune from where I thought we were! I thought we were looking at the trial eventually failing or taking forever while we all lay suffering on our beds/sofas. I hope this massive influx of cash means that the trial can speed up! Would be great to have a timeline update.

Wow. Thank goodness!

There is no massive influx of cash from F&M’s perspective (they knew this when they communicated the timelines), so I don’t know if we can expect the timeline to change much based on this info.

The only change is that we can be much more certain that the study will get sufficient funding without too much delay.
