Help for spinal cord injuries? — 14 Comments

  1. They need to run a questionable study in healthy 25 year olds and then approve it for 5-11 year olds.

    That’s how it works now right?

  2. Advances by drug companies have saved so many lives but they have squandered a large amount of trust in the last two years and they are showing no signs of letting up.

  3. SCOTTtheBADGER,

    ‘squander hardly seems to cover what they have done’

    To quote Harry Burns in the greatest movie about male/female relationships ‘When Harry Met Sally’ I WAS BEING NICE!

  4. I hardly wish for a repeat of the short clinical trials followed by the experience we’ve had with the COVID shots, which worked for a while, but at a high price for some people.

  5. I’ll ask my wife, a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician to look into this and let y’all know on this page ASAP.

  6. I find it very encouraging. If nerve regeneration can occur at all, then it is simply a matter of discovering the right elements required to initiate it. Just knowing that something can be done is half the battle.

  7. I hope this works and I hope the sponsors are just under-promising on the development timeline. It will take time to recruit subjects for Phase 2 and 3 —how do you sign up people until they have the relevant injury? And then how do you administer this time-sensitive treatment quickly enough to meet the protocol? I imagine they will have many emergency departments provisionally recruited “just in case” they get a qualifying case, but that means training a lot of people and probably deploying a lot of the drug (and placebo) that will not ever get used. Awkward and slow. Those more versed in this area should correct my take…

  8. “It is simply a matter of …” says a random dude, rarely are things simple as that.

    This isn’t Scurvey, Ricketts, Pellagra, or …..

  9. Pingback:Astra Zeneca is working on a new drug | Captain of a Crew of One

  10. I have a “partial” spinal cord injury of unknown cause and It’s not a pleasant way to live. I truly hope this drug can help those with new spinal cord injuries avoid a lot of permanent damage

  11. “If it’s truly well-tolerated and it’s the only treatment that might prevent the terrible results of such injuries, why five years? ”

    If raw data on the patients was publicly blockchained, we could make our own decisions.
