Guest guest Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 MS research study with Dr. Murray/ Dr. Melamed http://e2ma.net/map/view=CampaignPublic/id=31451.10551921762/rid=40434b0dfef8289\ 1fb0b71f092533146 ___________________________________ CLINICAL TRIAL A number of therapies currently available for Multiple Sclerosis are able to prevent damage from MS. However, none are able to repair damaged nerve tissue. This is a critical issue, especially for people with MS who already have some level of MS-related disability. A new experimental drug is being tested that MAY address this critical gap in MS care. But before that can happen, this drug must be shown to be safe to administer to people with MS. Dr. Murray and Dr. Isaac Melamed are seeking participants with MS who are willing to participate in a phase I trial to be among the first to receive this experimental drug. Qualifications Include: Be between the age of 18-60 Have a body mass index 30 (cannot be obese, okay if merely overweight) Have relapsing remitting OR secondary progressive MS (not primary progressive MS) Must be able to walk independently or with a cane for about 100 meters (may not participate if you depend on a walker) Treatment with interferon beta (INF) or glatiramer acetate (GA) is allowed to continue during the study if therapy is stable for three months. Patients on Tysabri, Rituximab, Novantrone, or Fingolimod are not eligible to participate. The study will last for 24 weeks. Compensation for time and travel will be provided. If you believe you meet some of the criteria and are interested in participating in this important clinical trial, please call IMMUNOe International Research Centers at for more information.
