I know it was given and Orphan drug designation (EU/3/13/1116) on 12/3/2013 for the treatment of Churg Strauss Syndrome or if there are any hospitals that can prescribe it. Thank You

GlaxoSmithKline announced phase III of research with this drug for severe uncontrolled refractory asthma in October 2012. Don't know where the research is being undertaken. Is that any use:

Thank you for your reply. Went to Hospital today, going to look into it. Do not hold out much hope. But apparently someone else in England with CSS is awaiting notification in the next few weeks who has chronic asthma. Just hope someone else can shed some more information.
