thankyou. The quote:
"Based on the findings of an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) comprised of internationally recognized Parkinson's Disease experts, the severity and frequency of these serious side effects are in line with the complications that could normally be expected after this type of intervention". gets me two ways, firstly that appears good news but also reflects the severity and risk of brain surgery. Thanks again, Neil. p.s. do you know next weekends lottery numbers as well |

This is only 2 out of 17 pages of my consent form. Other sections It goes into everything about PD, Spheramne, screening, pre and post surgical, LT followup. It also mentions a pilot group of 6. Hmm I wonder what ever happened to them. (Just kidding) It says .........
Six subjects have been treated with Spheramine in a previous clinical research study where each received 325,000 cells injected into the most affected side of the brain. All subjects have been followed for over 4 years. One subject experienced a serious sife effect of depression and suicidal thoughts.Subjects in the study experienced involuntary movement, headache, joint pain, upper respiratory infection, dizziness, depression, limb pain, decreased sensation, migrane, abnormal sensation,aggravated PD symptoms (longer OFF times) halucinations, insomnia, menopause,postural hypotension, increased appetite, muscle twitching, freezing, and slow movement. At this point it is not clear if any or all of these side effects were due to Spheremine. One subject had some bleeding in the brain which did not result in symptoms. .................................................. ....................... The downside for me is most of those side effects i already had With no proof of ever having menopause though it appears I got shammed and I'll get to do it all over again. Women are so lucky |

You have to tell them every time you have gas or any little detail when you are in a clinical trial. Peggy |

Not only did I read it, but I still had questions. There was no info on the original 6 beyond year 2 post surgery.
The guidelines are so strict that even though I participated in Phase II. My health over this year determines my eligibilty for Phase III. Any funny blood , urine or MRI can boot me. Imagine this. I received a call one day about previous surgery, potentially eliminating me from the trial. "Bob in reviewing your file one last time before going to Atlanta I see you had eye surgery. Yes I was 3. What was it for. Correcting a lazy eye. Why is that relevent. We just need to make sure all info is correct and need Atlantas OK. Do you remember what eye. I WAS 3. I' m sorry. Yes the left one. |
