Has anyone else noticed how slow the Tagisna trial process for PD is moving but how fast it is moving for Alz? This is so frustrating! Moussa's work at Georgetown was done on PD, he's talked about a bigger trial for PD, Fox has talked about a Tagisna trial for PD, as have others...but these trials have gotten pushed back for over a year. Even now I cannot find where the trial sites will be, when recruitment will begin, what the criteria will be, nothing.
Meanwhile, the FDA has apparently approved a clinical trial of Tasigna for Alz. and the trial is schedule to begin THIS YEAR: Alzheimer's Study Funded by ADDF to Test Cancer Treatment in Patients What's up with this? |

There is also a third trial that you may want to follow. A small biotech company, Inhibikase Therapeutics, has received FDA approval to begin a double-blinded, placebo-controlled trials for Nilotinib and Dasatinib (Sprycel - Bristol-Myers). The trials will try to evaluate the ability of both drugs (vs placebo) to slow or reverse progression in Stage 2 and 3 PD patients. It will be held at one test site over a 6 month period. The reason Inhibikase is conducting the studies is really more of a proof of concept for two new drugs that they are researching. They are developing two Abelson tyrosine inhibitors that are as much as 60 times more potent than the ones currently on the market (Nilotinib, Dasatinib, Gleevec, etc.).

I guess that's my point: all these PD orgs out there, many of them huge, and not one of them could fund a trial for Tasigna? They couldn't team up if they didn't want to put all of those research dollars in one basket?
The trials have already been pushed back once that I read about, who knows what really happens behind closed research doors. I have read politics/power were involved between the Fox/GMU that caused that split, and thus we lost valuable time with them doing a PD trial, which is even more frustrating. We are following the Gleevec/Tasigna second generation drugs, thanks! |

Another company that you may want to follow is Proclara biosciences. They claim to have a single drug that eliminates misfolded protein in multiple Neuro illnesses. They are currently in phase 1a clinical trial. They used to be known as macrophage.

If Tasigna gets approved for Alzheimer's as both safe and effective, if preliminary trials show success with Parkinson's, could it then be prescribed as an off-label drug for Parkinson's?

If you don't want to wait for the end of the phase 2 trials, or can't find a doctor to prescribe off label, or can't afford this expensive drug, yet still want to take it, then consider volunteering for the multi- center study next year. If you qualify, you can get the drug for free and properly monitored (assuming you don't get the placebo.....). You'll also be helping the whole PD community by moving the science forward. |

I'm having trouble getting my arms around this, I really am. First of all,
no one on the planet has any more respect for MJFF than I do, or least I used to have. And I'm sure everything I've read about this pi**ing match between GU and MJFF isn't guaranteed to be 100% accurate, and yes I'm very much aware that there are some incredibly talented people at MJFF, BUT I feel a slow rage that I'm not sure that I've experienced ever in my life. and of course, that is the last thing that anyone needs with tremor (yes, some level of tremor even after DBS). To MJFF and the like, DO NOT take the American populace and various philanthropy organizations for granted. And I don't want to see headlines on your web sites bragging about all your wonderful research that may or may not position us to apply for a trial in 5 years as I struggle to shave, shower, urinate, dress, speak, and pray that my spouse doesn't give up on me. I've had enough. Either reposition your business model to do a much, much better job at producing tangible results next year (meaning products with actual benefit IN the pipeline), exhausting ALL resources in this incredible country, or do us all a favor and join the hot dog vendors in front of your posh offices and be content to make less than 10K a year. |
