Saw this in an article on Novartis today:

That's really interesting, because it suggests they completed enrollment for their phase 3 trials some time around the middle of 2007, but I haven't seen any announcements about that.

Hi Guys

My Neuro has patients enrolled in this trial in S. Africa.
I saw him today and asked how it was going.
He said it looked very promising, and that the regulatory submissions would be made in about 2 years time (so end 2009 sound right).
He then said we shouldn't expect it on the market until 2011 or 2012???

You guys all know that I am on this trial.
It is not a magic cure but I haven't had any attacks in at least 18mo. My EDSS has not changed and I still must exercise a bit everyday to keep my strength and my balance.
I only have 3 visits to go to complete this study. I may even be
secondary progressive now, which may skew the results but that is their problem.
I may have said this before but my neuro said I won't be left stranded once the study is done. I should be able to get the real thing if all is well with the product. So far, no red flags have come up.
Take care all, Carole

Sorry if its been posted elsewhere, but is there any chance that "Preliminary results" will be published regarding the Current Phase III trial of FTY720? and if so, anyone heard a date?

My neuro via e-mail two weeks ago told me he expects to see a final protocol for a PPMS arm for the FTY 720 trial in June and it would take a few months for me to actually enroll. I asked him about the trial because I am considering herbal treatment and I did not want it to be an exclusion for the FTY720 trial. He said I would just have to stop any treatments 30 days prior to the first dose. I would certainly be willing to do that unless of course the herbal treatment actually works for me......Then, maybe I'll have a choice of treatment paths. Wow, what a dream.....

Hi,

I was looking at the phase III studies for FTY720 - does anyone know why they are doing such a large study? It looks like they are taking around 3000 people over the various trials.
