copaxone 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.

Peptimmune is part of Novartis. They have something for MS in clinical trials it looks like it is aimed at secondary progressive. It is in the beginning of clinical trials.

They both feel strongly that it is not acceptable to do nothing in light of symptoms of CIS. In clinical trials with Copaxone to treat CIS, 42.9% of the patients who were given the placebo progressed to having CDMS. 24.7% of the copaxone treated test patients progressed to CDMS. While not perfect in stopping the disease, the number is significant. The neuros said that the other DMD's showed similar response in slowing/stopping the development of CDMS.

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).

What is the best way to get help paying for copaxone or is there a generic version that is less expensive? I was hoping to start taking it soon, but Im afraid I can't afford it. Also, has anyone taken the new oral version? Is it less expensive? I was advised not to use it but I certainly will if I can afford it. Plus, what are the other benefits of using copaxone othr than slowing down the formation of new lesions. Will I get my energy back? Will my concentration get better?

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!

The deal with the injection sites is the FDA requires SS to tell people to do it exactly as it was done in the clinical trials to the letter. Your Doctor or if he has an MS Certified Nurse they can advise you of alternatives. I went to my Doctor and his nurse gave me alternatives. each of us is different needs. As far as the hips my husband gave me those injections. It made him feel good to be apart of my therapy.

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.

Well, I'm not on Copaxone; I'm in a clinical trial. So far as I know there are no special dietary recommendations or restrictions with any of the DMDs. There are some people who think that special diets, such as low-fat, anti-inflammatory diets with omega-3s are helpful, at least in some people with MS. A couple of the better known ones are the Swank diet and the Best Bet diet.

They have to use those areas because they used them for clinical trials. They have to do everything exactly like clinical trials. My MS nurse told me different things. Sounds like the plungers were defective and you need new ones. I think they manufacture them in India.
