ME Fund seeks support for ResetME trial testing daratumumab as potential ME/CFS treatment
Summary
The ME Fund (ME-fondet), a Norwegian non-profit, is raising funds for the ResetME trial — a larger, controlled study of daratumumab (a monoclonal antibody originally developed for cancer) as a potential treatment for ME/CFS patients with post-exertional malaise (PEM). A promising pilot study showed encouraging results, but a larger trial with a control group is needed to verify or refute those findings. The article is a fundraising appeal to support biomedical research for this severe, currently untreatable disease.

Even though the pilot study is encouraging, a larger study with a control group is needed to verify or refute the results.
