The decision to administer 3,5-diiodothyropropionic acid (DITPA) to our son Jonah was something we didn’t take lightly. As parents taking a leap of faith into the unknown was very frightening. It was imperative that we had a doctor by our side in this process that we could trust, that would listen, that advised us accordingly and translated Jonah’s results in a manner we could understand. Dr Flora Wong was our leading physician in this clinical trial and not only did she meet all our expectations, she exceeded them. Today, our little boy Jonah is going from strength to strength, something we know wouldn’t have been achievable without DITPA.

Jonah is just one one of many children who will potentially benefit from this world first drug trial.
