If the daratumumab results are as good as the cyclophosphamide ones i think many patients will have a drug in a couple of years. The only problem with cyclo is the toxicity but daratumumab usually has mild side effects. If they can identify who are likely responders as well it would be a big win.

Fluge is now adding 4 more pasients to the 6 that are already trialed. He showed data from one of the responders that improved from consistently an average of 2k steps per day to 8k steps per day in just a few months time. She had ME for 34 yrs.

The videos of the conference were 6 hours long, I didn't watch to try and pick out the interesting parts, feels like theres more research being done now and it makes it harder to follow everything especially when you factor in long covid stuff too.

Stuff is expensive. 400mg about ~500€/$ on indiamart. Good thing is, they want to publish in 2024.

Update: I was granted access to the document after requesting it. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to publicly post it so I'm waiting for authorization to do so. To be honest it doesn't look very interesting and is more like an extremely (1 silde and roughly 3 sentences per talk) short summary of every talk.
