I think you raise some very important issues. As we learned after the GDNF trial was halted, most scientists hesitate to discuss study results until they are published in a peer reviewed journal.Traditionally this can take up to a year or even more. There was a wealth of information in Dr. Bartus' interview. Hopefully, the Ceregene researchers and the gene therapy consortium will be able to collaborate to possibly improve the protocol and outcome of the GDNF gene therapy study, even if not yet published in the traditional manner. Maybe they already are. If they can learn from the Ceregene trial and advance the science and bring us closer to a cure, it has not been a failure. Perhaps the Fox Foundation can play a role in facilitating communication and collaboration.
