Living Cell Technologies Limited (LCT) is an Australasian biotechnology company improving the wellbeing of people with serious diseases worldwide by discovering, developing and commercialising regenerative treatments which restore function using naturally occurring cells.
Our lead product, NTCELL®, is an alginate coated capsule containing clusters of neonatal porcine choroid plexus cells. After transplantation NTCELL functions as a biological factory, producing factors to promote new central nervous system growth and repair disease-induced nerve degeneration. A Phase IIb trial of NTCELL for Parkinson's disease is currently underway. It aims to confirm the most effective dose of NTCELL, define any placebo component of the response and further identify the initial target Parkinson’s disease patient sub group. If the trial is successful LCT will apply for provisional consent to treat paying patients in New Zealand and launch NTCELL as the first disease modifying treatment for Parkinson’s disease, in 2017. NTCELL Clinical Study results to be announced on Friday 10 November |

I'm not impressed by the results, very few patients and they didn't show the individual data. i assume they will be required to do a much larger trial in order to get this treatment approved in N.Z. and i think it will be more difficult finding volunteers if they have to wait a year or more to see fairly minor improvements. imho, if the results were that remarkable there would be some mention of this treatment and i've seen none outside of LCT. And imagine how hard it is to keep everything else constant for a year for each patient as they wait for some positive results to occur. one patient starting a vigorous exercise program might show equal improvement to the LCT treatment improvement. i also noticed they didn't mention quality of life measurements, just how much better did the patient feel? but what do i know? hope it turns out to be effective.
