New Drugs?

[danrising]

My Doctor told me Thursday at Clinicals to be on the lookout for an announcement on Monday or Tuesday about a new medicine to be approved for ALS..Anyone else heard this?

Hi, did he mention the name of the drug or manufacturer? Staying hopeful.

Can't imagine anything coming from FDA that we have not heard about. Hope I am wrong. Could it be something going into trials?

This is from Dr. Benjamin Brooks from Charlotte NC, He said it was coming out of trails and we should hear something first of week.

Home - ClinicalTrials.gov

There are about 240 studies going on per this site.

Keep hope alive.
