Final Results Of Neuralstem Phase I Stem Cell Trial In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Published In Annals of Neurology
PR Newswire - Mon Mar 17, 8:15AM CDT
Neuralstem, Inc. (NYSE MKT: CUR) announced that the final results from the Phase I safety trial using NSI-566 spinal cord stem cells in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease) were published in the peer-reviewed journal, "Annals of Neurology" http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ana.24113/full. In "Intraspinal Neural Stem Cell Transplantation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Phase I Trial Outcomes," results were updated from Phase I interim data, reported earlier, to include data from the last six patients in the trial. These six patients were the first to receive cervical stem cell transplants. Three of them were also the first to be transplanted along the length of their spines, in both the lumbar and the cervical regions. The results showed that NSI-566 human spinal cord stem cells can be safely transplanted in both the lumbar and cervical spinal cord segments, did not accelerate disease progression, and warrant further study on dosing and therapeutic efficacy. Furthermore, the researchers were able to identify potential therapeutic windows, suggesting that more injections, as well as multiple injections, are better and may increase both the length and the magnitude of the potential benefits. This is consistent with the hypothesized neuroprotective mechanism-of-action for this cell therapy.
Breakthroughs on the Horizon for CTE and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases
ACCESSWIRE - Thu Mar 13, 12:21PM CDT
Whitefish MT / March 13, 2014 / The quest to address long-term neurodegenerative problems associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and concussions has received plenty of attention recently, in part because of high profile athletes raising awareness and also because of some breakthrough research by Boston University and the University of California at Los Angeles. With any advancement come arguments on both sides of the debate about the accuracy of statements without extensive clinical research, and the sobering reality is that there still are no reliable treatments for diseases like Alzheimer's disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). All scientific posturing and argumentative rhetoric aside, the fact that companies are making strides in diagnostics and more resources are being devoted to these areas of tremendous unmet medical need are reason for optimism as there are new paths being carved in the evolution of new treatments.
