Alicaforsen

Hi all, I was in the trial for Alicaforsen and got the placebo. Then i was able to go into the open label.  They give you the drug as enema suppositories for 6 weeks.  Within 3 weeks it works pretty well and my symptoms are under control. Saying that, i also take cipro and budesonide, 2 drugs i was trying to get off of.  It works well for about month after getting of the alicaforsen but then sympstoms start coming back. So i've done this 3 more times.  The only issue i'm having is that i've had more colds and flu than I've ever had so i'm wondering if it lowers the immune system drastically.  I'm deciding whether to continue to repeat this process or not.

 

Anyone able to get into the open label and are experiencing the same issues?
