Hi

Any of you guys know when Campath is likely to become a licenced/approved treatment in the UK and the US?

Have been reading different dates -- 2010, 2011, 2012 and so on.

Thanks

Camilla

to be 2012........

Don't know when they will submit for approval, but I do know that both phase III studies completed enrollment late last year (October or November of 2009).

Thanks! 2012 still some time off!

do it off label like many of us did.

and check out the ccsvi thing.

campath...well no relapses but still my head feels like sh....

take care.

What do you mean your head feels like sh...?

Are neuros prescribing off label?

Am in the UK and mine seemed a bit reluctant right now. Am checking out CCSVI and will have an MRV Feb!

i mean just what i said... campath didn't make my dizzyness vanish or anything like that. my hope is at least to keep my relapse free for a long time. but i can feel this thing progressing in my head you know?

yes, neuros prescribe it off label. not all off them but a few for sure. in my case, an oncologist friend of mine helped me. the thing is to find a doc wiling to help as i see it.

i think my doc could help anyone interested in a private clinic in Athens. let me know if i can help. i can ask her if you want me to.

Thanks! Will let you know. Am working on my doctor right now to prescribe it. Lets see what he says.

Cheers and thanks again

I keep getting invalid session when I try to respond, so will keep this short. I think the phase 3 trial for those people who've had ms symptoms for less than 5 years and have not had any other treatment except steroids is due to report in the UK in March/April 2011, and the other in 2012.
