    Does anyone know the status of:

    Wes Elys Baricitinib trial

    The DOD Bezisterim trial

    Paul Hwangs WASF3 work


    With regard to funding in view of the recent cuts?

    Ha! You read my mind. I was going on here to ask about the Bari trial. Maybe @Dakota15 knows?

    I’ll send an email to Jaime S.

    I don't have any knowledge of The DOD Bezisterim trial or Paul Hwangs WASF3 work at this time, but as of 3/5/25 Baricitinib trial was still on and moving forward.

    Obviously a lot of this is fluid

    I don't recall Paul Hwang receiving grants to work on WASF3 in ME/CFS, so presumably it's all up to how much time off from his other work and how much of his other resources he uses for this.
