Status of Baricitinib, Bezisterim and WASF3 research after recent funding cuts

[V.R.T.]

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.

Jaime didn’t have an update.

Baricitinib trial is moving forward, confirmed by Jaime.
