Thank you to all of DART’s supporters. We have great news! The National Institutes of Health announced last Wednesday, while Andrew was getting his 16th monthly dose of Cyclodextrin (see photo), that the NIH has selected pharma company Vtesse to partner on the further development of treatments for NPC, starting with the continuation of the Cyclodextrin clinical trial.
