I'm going to register for this one if I can. I have faith in the team, its got a 6 month open label phase so even the placebo group gets to try it, and big pharma is out of the loop so if it proves to be a usable modality the price will not be hiked up.

It is frustrating, but the doses are much bigger than the previous prescribed use. Hopefully things will move faster if they can recruit quickly. I feel your pain though. Time is brain for those of us waiting and trying to keep in a holding pattern.
