So we met with the ALS clinical trials coordinator at the hospital for special care in CT. They will be enrolling patients in the phase III Tirasemtiv trial and actually will be enrolling the most patients of any sites worldwide. They were also one of the sites for the phase II trial of Tirasemtiv as well.
Anyway, the doctor was saying the drug seems to show a lot of promise, she had patients during the phase II trial that showed improvements while on the drug. For instance, one of her patients was unable to lift her arm to brush her teeth but after being on the drug she was able to. They are just waiting for IRB approval and will start enrolling within the next few weeks. Think I'm going to get my dad into it.
