In 2017, someone posted positive results through off-lable

use of Tasigna as a means of stopping PD. Request update.

Come on, why the thanks - I am just posting the news that is available. I remember listening / reading an article where one of the people responsible for running the trial was giving an update on the results of the trial. Not sure if it is on Youtube or on the web. Need to search the web. It is an utter shame that the trial got delayed due to bickering between MJF foundation and the University in Georgetown ? . A proven drug that is safe should have been made available by now (has been almost 4 years since news about Nilotinib and PD connection was made public). Hopefully, it will be sooner than later. All the more reason to stay strong and take care of health.
