:-/ http://www.cureffi.org/2022/11/01/asos-hydrocephalus/
- “we are working to develop an ASO against PRNP as a therapy for prion disease…
- Overall, it’s hard to know whether there exists an association between nusinersen and hydrocephalus; if there is, the effect size is not huge and the frequency appears low. No patients appear to have died from it.
- I don’t believe that the tragic results reported for valeriasen should hold us back from bringing a prion disease ASO into trials. But, this is one more reminder that clinical trials are experiments, and the first-in-human dose of a drug is really the starting line and not the finish line.”
