Guest guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Hello, May I ask what are the " human trials will begin before the end of 2010 " ? Do you mean the treatments or drugs to cure CMT? Thank you very much. Caroline On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 8:20 AM, gfijig <gfijig@...> wrote: > > > Pharnext is repositioning drugs already on the market.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Caroline, Yes, I mean for CMT, as the news article stated. I don't know the exact month or day when human trials will begin. France seems to get things done quickly. As I stated earlier, Pleodrugs are compounds already on the market that will be repositioned (mixed) to provide new treatment possibilities. There has been a vast amount of fundraising for this, and from what I understand there has already been animal model testing. I do not know what the " compounds " are for, and no one else knows due to the ethics involved. Keep following Pharnex for updates. I'll post them here too.
