avonex clinical trials

I am in the Tovaxin Clinical Trial. You can get information about what clinical trials are currently recruiting at clinicaltrials.gov you can do a search for disease specific related trials. And to you answer SL's question, my neuro recommened that I look for a trial. And when trials were brought to her attention, she would give me information on them.

nid=2568 Jan 20, 2010 Positive Results Published on Clinical Trials of Oral FTY720 (Fingolimod) for Relapsing MS -- Novartis Applies to FDA and European Regulatory Agency for Approval Positive results from two large-scale phase III clinical trials of oral fingolimod (FTY720) have been published showing it significantly reduced multiple sclerosis relapse rates, and one of the trials also suggested it could slow the progression of disability.

re trying an even lower dose. I think in some of the other trials they did Fingolimod vs. Avonex, but not both at the same time (so you either got Fingolimod and a fake Avonex shot or Avonex and a sugar pill). You're not allowed to take any of the other DMDs with Fingolimod (I think they're worried about interactions like the way it seemed to turn out that only people who used Tsybari with another DMD got PML (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy) and died).

hi -- a few weeks ago there was a guy who posted here looking for user-friendly clinical trials sites. He was getting medical help outside of the U.S. I can't find his post....so thought I'd write a new one hoping he'll find this. I found this site today and thought of him. http://www.centerwatch.com/patient/pns/patemail.

I am looking to find treatment I have no insurance and I see a lot of Clinical Trials that you can sign up for an be notified by a recruiter, but my thought is how do I know if they reputable. Who can I contact to find out?

t know if I can post this or not, so will not post the actual information yet, but I received a magazine from a very good hospital in my area and in it was information about the ovarian cancer clinical trials that they are doing and a number to call if someone is interested. I live in Central Florida. So, if it is ok to post that info, or if there is anyone on here that would like that info, you can always send me a message.

Its a great resource. I also recently found a site that matches patients to trials, http://trialx.org.

So because of this I have called Duke University to see about getting in their clinical trials which I could start right away. I would like some feedback good and bad but in the end I realize its my decision. This waiting game has put my life on hold and affecting me financially only. thanks everyone for your response. I enjoy and respect all of you.

I have been involved in (runnung at a clinical level) numerous research trials over the last 10+ years. The extensive consent form should be very specific to what the liability the facility will hold in case of complications. If you have questions there should b a specific # to contact near the back (an independant institution called a review board). If you are uncomfortable asking your MD these questions, direct these questions to the review board.

I have been on a clinical trial since my diagnosis in 2006. It is one of the avastin trials.

21 with the drug r05024048.I did do alot of research on clinical trials before I agreed to be in a trial.The care you get in a clinical trial is far better than what you would get outside of one.I do not agree with people who say if your biopsy isn`t bad then you should wait.It is a proven fact that the worse the virus gets the less chance of a svr.If you treat when the virus isn`t strong the better your chance of getting a cure.

My onc. has suggested I look into clinical trials for my colon cancer. How do I go about this and where do I start. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Just took a look at the link and it looks like they do have clinical trials to determine that...just not in Canada...*sigh* (That I can find anyway).

I keep hearing people talking about clinical trials but I haven't been able to find out about any. I've called my gastro doctor and other doctors that I have and no one knows anything about them. Do any of you know of any clinical trials for Telaprivir?

Hi Guys I thought this may be a good place to put this up so all may see and pass the word on...these are some clinical Trials coming up for any who want to be a part and test out the newest in Medications./treatments ....you can visit ClinicalConnection.

For those searching for clinical trials, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov Never give up!

There is currently no MS disease modifying drug on the market in pill form. It is in clinical trials right now. There are hopes that it will be available some time next year.

t prescribed as first-line treatments. Some oral medications, such as Fingolimod and BG00012 are in clinical trials right now. That would be the only way of getting them right now. If you're interested in that, you could do a web search to see where the different oral meds are being trialled. I'm about your size and weight, and I am using Copaxone (which isn't an interferon).

The Biogen Idec lunch talk I went to today was very interesting and quite a different approach than the usual tons of slides about Tysabri. It focused on what those numbers in clinical trials really mean. Of course it was directed at explaining why the Avonex number and Tysabri numbers are what they appear to be, but it really got me thinking.

I echo all the questions the others have posted. Guess there are many ongoing clinical trials of other drugs, but this one has made it to the top of the heap in terms of publicity, at least. Let's hope it's the best one, too. Best of luck!

she felt that they would indeed release at least Telaprevir sometime in 2011, and that insurance wouldn’t be an issue. She’s deeply involved with clinical trials; in fact, she’s a principal investigator in several, so I assume she’s up on all this.

http://www.centerwatch.com/clinical-trials/listings/studylist.aspx?CatID=670 Just wanted to share this information in case you don't already know about it.

I think clinical trials are important and urge everyone who can particiapte to consider trials in hopes of finding better treatments for this horrible disease.
