3-5 years? ugh... I want it now (as I'm sure everybody else does). when are clinical trials? With clinical trials must you have one of the diseases specified? IF you are idiopathic are you out of luck?

sorry, one more question. I see this drug is for diabetic or sarcoidoisis neuropathy. does that mean it won't work on other types of neuropathy? Wouldn't trials want to be done on many different types of neuropathy? Why only those two? Sorry, I don't understand much about this stuff

This drug is being tried in the US. Does anybody know how drugs come to Canada? In general, if drugs are approved in the US are they approved in Canada around the same time? Or does it take years for to see it in Canada?

some people do very well on Lyrica and that's for diabetic neuropathy....we all respond very differently to the medications out there....so sadly it's a hit or miss kinda of thing....

Drugs can't be made so narrowly as to treat diseases in a precise way. There won't know this until there is more data. It depends on the mechanism of the drug as well.

It would be used off label if positive results were seen with other neuropathies.

It could be used off label, but unfortunately it sometimes takes so long for that to happen. Usually there has to be an extensive amount data on the drug and typically will be an older, generic medication. But anything is possible.

I work at a very large contract research company and we are doing things now to make clinical trials faster and more efficient the future. There is just so much time, money, and waste that has to go into the process. It's very frustrating.

I use clinicaltrials.gov to check out what studies are ongoing for any given drug.

For the clinical trials there is a very exact inclusion/exclusion criteria. It depends on what indications they are looking to have on the final label. Phase 3 trials test the drug on individuals that have the disease that they are looking to treat.
