On August 6th PXE International conducted a clinical study to see if people affected by PXE experienced increased levels of pyrophosphate (PPi) in their blood if they took capsules containing PPi.
PPi might be a treatment for PXE, so this is an important first step. We had a magnificent day with 11 volunteers who gave their time (and blood) to this study!
Researchers Drs. Jouni Uitto and Qiaoli Li also participated in the day (pictured below).
