Hi Barbara;

Have you spoken to your neurologist about entering the phase III trial?

Can you explain how the trials work. My next appt with him is July 8th

There is information on the Alzforum site and ...http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00575055 lots of good info. Basically,you need to meet certain criteria and hopefully live near a clinical trial location.

All costs are paid for by the researchers. Most trials, a cetain percentage of folks get the drug being researched and the others get a placebo. At the end of the study, if the results are good, then the placebo patients get drug right away and do not have to wait for final FDA approval.

Let us know if you need more information.
