I sort of made my original comment rhetorically "tongue in cheek". However, after reading the article, I now can say it more emphatically, "where are all of the emerging treatments". The review clearly shows that, although there is a lot of interesting research going on, and there has been a lot of in-vitro and animal model success, there is no new emerging treatment on the near horizon. Outside of Safinamide (which will likely get approval within a year), what drug did they mention that is likely to be approved for general use within the next year? Two years? Five years? Even with Safinamide, I don't think we can call it "new and emerging". It's another MAO-B inhibitor that clearly shows successful results, but was never tested against rasagiline or selegiline. So, we really don't know if this is just another "me-too" or it is actually an improvement. I personally still feel very confident that we will see breakthrough emerging treatments down the road. However, maybe Forbes should do a little bit of research on the true current state before rushing to put out an article. Last edited by Tupelo3; 08-16-2014 at 09:25 PM. |
