I just wanted to make sure that everyone here was aware of the clinical trial.

"The first human clinical trial for a groundbreaking new drug that has the potential to turn off the gene that causes Huntington’s disease will get underway in Vancouver this year, says a University of B.C. researcher."

We're pretty excited about this.

Unfortunately the company shares its name with a notorious terrorist group. I would prefer to relate it to Lord Grantham's loveable late dog in Downton Abbey, also named Isis.

I'll be glad to volunteer for any trials. As a longtime blood donor, needle sticks don't bother me anywhere. Great news!

Unfortunately Will, I believe you have to have measurable physical symptoms for this trial, but someone correct me if I'm wrong. Glad you love needles Will, not me! LOL

A step in the right direction.

So does this mean the protein in the spinal fluid will also be a test used in diagnosis?

Praying for good results. Do you who is going to be the trial participants yet Steve? I'm thinking it will be quiet.

I don't know much about the trial just yet.

That's because you haven't read this Steve This explains everything:
