New Clinical Trials with the LLS & KU Researchers at the University of Kansas Medical Center have started a clinical trial. The trial is targeting the most common type of adult leukemia and looking at a drug, auranofin, that was first approved 25 years ago for the treatment of arthritis. This trial is one piece of the collaboration that is taking place between KU, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, where Corey Ribotsky is a supporter, and the National Institute of Health. Together, they are working to accelerate the discovery and development of more effective cancer treatments. As Louis J. DeGennaro, Ph.D., the executive vice president and chief mission officer at LLS said, "The collaboration between KU, LLS and NIH is committed to giving new hope to patients by reducing sharply the time and costs associated with developing new therapies. Auranofin is a great example of what is possible through an effective public-private partnership."

LLS and Lotsa Helping Hands Certainly, when someone is dealing with cancer, there are many things that they need help to accomplish. Their family made need assistance; they may need financial help; they may need help navigating the health care system, and beyond. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, where Corey Ribotsky is a donor, helps in innumerable ways. One way that they help is with a brilliant online program they’ve created called Lotsa Helping Hands. This is a private, web-based caregiving coordination service that allows friends and family members to collaborate on their helping efforts. As the LLS website explains, “With an LLS Lotsa Helping Hands community web site in place, when someone asks “What can I do to help?” the answer is “You can join our community!" Then ask them for their name and email address – the system takes over and allows people to sign up and start helping.”
