Clinical Trial?

JJ401

Just received a phone call about two clinical trials. Apparently (will call neurologist tomorrow- office closed now) his neurologist gave his name as a candidate for the trial. He had done a previous clinical trial that only involved him giving blood so I guess that indicated a willingness to be part of a trial.

First— a new phase four study of a drug from Biogen aimed at reducing amyloid plaque. Once a month infusion every four weeks for 2 1/2 years.

Second - phase four study of drug to reduce Tau plaque. Requires lumbar puncture. Infusions given through spine for two years.

Both studies require MRI and PET scans. 30% chance of placebo.

I told them I’d talk to him, and his daughter, about it. They call back January 2 to see if we want to go forward.

Any thoughts?

They called back today. On his behalf, I declined both.
