MJFF Announces New Funding Opportunity: Repositioning Drugs for PD 2011 News Categories: Funding News, MJFF-Funded Projects Today, MJFF announces a new funding opportunity, called “Repositioning Drugs for PD 2011”. The $3 million program will provide funding for up to three years for preclinical or clinical projects proposing to study clinically safe compounds (originally developed for other conditions) as treatments for PD. HTML Code:
Two types of drugs are relevant for this request for applications (RFA): compounds that have passed clinical safety tests, but have failed efficacy trials for nonPD conditions, and compounds that have already been approved and are on the market for nonPD conditions. I have a request for this forum. I have seen several posts from forum members in the past about FDA approved drugs for non-PD disorders working reasonably well for PD, for example Calcium channel blockers. If you have such information (personal experiences or web-based info), could you please post it again? We may already have a "non-scientific" validation of some of these drugs. Thanks Girija |
