Cogane phase II trials
Cogane phase II trials
"The profile of Cogane™ suggests that it will have benefit in both the motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. In addition its effect on restoring damaged neurones to a functioning state implies that it might result in a delay in the progression of disease in recently diagnosed patients. Data from preclinical models also indicates that Cogane™ when administered in conjunction with L‑DOPA showed additional benefit over L‑DOPA alone. Other data suggests that Cogane™ reduces the side effects associated with L‑DOPA. If these effects of improved efficacy and reduced side effects of L‑DOPA by co-administration of Cogane™ are also observed in patients, this will have significant benefit in the management of patients with more severe disease. CoganeTM is currently being evaluated in a 400 patient multi-national Phase II, randomised, double blind, placebo controlled, dose ranging study (CONFIDENT-PD). The study is comparing the safety, tolerability and efficacy of three doses of CoganeTM and placebo when administered for 28 weeks to untreated patients with early stage Parkinson's disease. The study will assess the efficacy of Cogane™ in the treatment of both motor and non‑motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Recruitment into the study is ongoing and expected to be completed in spring 2012, Our target remains to have results from the study available around the end of 2012." |

I'm in week 23 of Cogane Trial. No changes yet. Must be on placebo or low dose. Have you seen any changes? Lee |
Cogane Trial

I'm week 8 next week Well I saw my GP (general doctor ) today for the first time in a while and she remarked that I seemed less rigid. In myself I feel better, and the other day I noticed I was swinging my left arm (not consistently as I tend to favour it ). An abscess that has been persistently needing antibiotics every 3 or 4 months for the last 3 years, seems to have calmed down. It's hard to make an objective assessment, as you are aware of yourself on a daily basis, rather than comparing how you felt a month or two back. So far no bad side effects :) How about when you compare yourself to 6 months ago ? Peter |

I really had not seen much change until a couple of weeks ago. Lip tremor has gotten a little worse. Recently started taking citalopram. My GP said citalopram could be causing this so I'm slowly getting off of it. Hopefully that will slow down the lip tremor. I was hoping for more from Cogane, but you never know. I guess I will finish the trial & go from there. Keep me posted on your experience with Cogane. Hopefully it will work for you. They are already talking about Phase III from what my Dr said. Lee |

I just wish more new PDers would volunteer, so that the trial schedule and the clinical results aren't delayed. I'd love to see it moving quickly on to Phase III general trials for all. Peter |

Hopefully they will get through & go on to Phase III. Where are you from? |
from the UK

I'm from the UK, living to the south of London - my trial is through a major London teaching hospital, unfortunately I'm currently the only one on the trial there, and I found them and volunteered :( |

Is the Cogane working for you? I finish up next week. Ready to start on meds. Does anyone have any sugestions for first time meds? |
