CERE-120 Phase II trials fall of 2006

For people who are avoiding dbs and looking for a treatment that may provide neuroregeneration -- watch for the upcoming the CERE-120 phase II gene therapy multi-center trial coming later this fall of 2006.

They use neurturin -- a neurotrophic factor. Phase I safety trial was a success, and details will be published soon.

Phase 1 was a success ?

Yes it was a success - I dialed in for an FDA webcast where ceregene presented results of phase I and also generally outlined their plans for phase II. Full details of the Phase I trial will be published (or presented - can't remember which) this month - October 2007. It sounds very promising.

Neither the webcast nor the minutes are linked yet - but i think they will be eventually. The meeting took place 9/20/06

This link goes to the web page where you will (eventually) see the link to the webcast about cere-120 phase I and plans for phase II.

Removed as author was worried about accuracy or misinterpretation, but do try to watch it when it comes online- it was quite interesting watching the questioning and defending of this trial. The trial has champions; wheras the Amgen champion of GNDF passed away of a heart attack. Watching this made me wonder how well it was defended.

Cere-120 gives me hope for a neurorestorative treatment.

Yes, it's truly a pity about GDNF (which we're still fighting for). But hopefully cere-120 (neurturen) will fill that void for most of us.
