Clinical Trial

[Bergenser]

I stumbled across this recent article about a new clinical trial - will be asking about it on our next clinic appointment

clinicaltrialsarena.com/new...

Hopeful that prevention and cure will be found

Dear Bergenser, my husband is 61 and diagnosed PSP in 2020.. very poor balanced with heavy fatigued. Can he participate in the trial if possible please? Many thanks

I'm so sorry I'm just a carer for my husband, I don't have any influence over participation in trials 😔. I think it is worth you asking your husband's specialist/ neurologist whether your husband might be eligible.

My husband has participated in one clinical trial already (the NORAPS study) through the research centre in Cambridge/Addenbrooks. Trials give hope even if there are no guarantees. I feel positive about this one as it seems the drug they are testing was approved for treating ALS.

Best wishes 🌻🤗

I too saw this trial and have enquired with UCLH London where my husband is currently treated to see if he would be eligible. This is one of the proposed sites under Prof Huw Morris. I have not had any response as yet but I am hoping my husband might meet the criteria. I will post if we are successful

I pray all the best for you dear.. and look forward to your post with the positive response.

Thank you.

we recently traveled to Memphis with high hopes of getting in on this trial. I would strongly encourage you to pursue it, as it seems the most hopeful I’ve seen. Sadly my husband was ejected because his disease is apparently too advanced according to the PSPRS.

I would still like to know if it could possibly be prescribed “off label” since it has been approved for treating Lou Gehrig’s disease. I intend to request this from our neurologist when we see him in March. We would be willing to sign away any rights… what other hope do we have?

Please let us know if you go through with it

Blessings Auntbuzzy for your advice and support. thanks of bundles.please keep us in your prayers. I hope all goes ok for my husband as well for everyone whose going through this terrible journey.. May God give us the strength with his mercy. Aameen
