American Cancer Society, 822 Leighton Avenue, Suite Anniston, AL 36207. An experimental new rheumatoid arthritis treatment that targets renegade white blood, cells shows promise in early testing, allowing some victims to resume normal lives and stop taking other medicines, researchers said Monday.

The research, though preliminary, has had major benefits for the first five subjects treated after 18 months and has helped a second group of five people six months after treatment said Dr. Jonathan Edwards of University College in London. "It's early days yet, but we've gotten very good responses from the patients. We need to do a lot more work before this would be any sort of routine treatment" said Edwards, a professor of connective tissue medicine. He will deliver a presentation on the treatment which uses a biotech- nology drug targeted at the immune system, on Wednesday at a meeting of the American College of Rheumatology in Philadelphia.

Dr. John Klippel, medical director of the Arthritis Foundation in Washington, who is also among the 7,000 people attending the convention, said Edwards' research stood out because the patients improved so markedly. "The degree of improvement and the duration of the response is much, much greater than we are accustomed to seeing," Klippel said. The 20 subjects treated so far ranged in age from 40 to 70 and had had arthritis for an average of 22 years. Edwards said the first five patients treated had 70 percent improvement after 18 months, though two have required further treatment during that time.

Two of the 20 treated so far have shown no improvement. "All of the first five subjects returned to leading a more or less normal life, one going to the gym and one taking up gardening for the first time in years," Edwards said. He said they stopped taking their arthritis medications. Dye TALLADEGA Services for Larry D.
