The press conference organized by the Bambino Gesù hospital was held today to present the results of the clinical evaluation made on the spot by the hospital doctors to little Charlie Gard, the 11-month-old baby suffering from a serious rare disease.
According to the doctors: "The very serious clinical context that we have found would have configured the attempt at experimental therapy as a persistent therapeutic". From the joint evaluation “… it emerged the impossibility of starting the experimental therapeutic plan, due to the severely compromised conditions of the muscle tissue of little Charlie”. "While in fact the results of the new MRI showed a worsening, but not completely irreversible, picture of encephalopathy, the results of the additional muscular investigation that we requested highlighted a condition of severe and widespread loss of muscle tissue, which he suggested that we desist from the intention of starting the experimental therapy ”, explains the hospital. “We are unable to know what could have happened six months ago. We cannot know if Charlie would have responded to experimental therapy because we are faced with a rare condition of which we do not know the natural history and of which we do not have recognized therapeutic protocols ", observes the Roman hospital again, but" we know we have done this. that Charlie's mum asked us to do ”.
