My Dr said last week, there was a clinical trial I would have qualified for, but it closed. He said he would let me know when another opened up.
Do you know how to find when Clinical Trials are open or coming or anything at all regarding them? Haha!
Thank you so much for responding back to me!

@tamig I don't know anything about the clinical trials work, unfortunately. Dr. Kopecky at Mayo told me about those two promising drugs that they are expecting to be FDA-approved soon. And my cardiologist said the same. But they didn't mention, and I didn't ask, how people get into the trials.
I have a friend who has a form of muscular dystrophy, and a couple of years ago her doctor (I think a neurologist) tried to get her into a clinical trial for an experimental medication. She was going to have to go to Austin, TX, periodically. Ultimately, she couldn't do it. That is my only experience with anyone participating in a trial.
