Q: I live on Long Island and would be interested in participating in a clinical trial for Anti-Lingo. I hear that such a study is being done this year at Stony Brook University. I currently suffer from the early phases of secondary progressive MS, having been diagnosed in 2006 with Relapsing Remitting MS. I am a 55 year-old male, ambulatory (although I do walk with the assistance of a cane. Thank you.
A: ClinicalTrials.gov and CenterWatch are good places to check regarding clinical trials. After checking these sites, we didn't see any trials for anti-lingo in the Long Island area, so we contacted Stony Brook University directly and they were not aware of any either. Finally, we contacted Biogen-Idec and they said to speak with your physician about any possible future trials.

I too am trying to find out where the trials are being held? I live in Boston and was a patient of Dr Kinkel until he moved to UCSD. I have been told there are no trials in the NY/Boson area. This is too bad. I cannot even locate trials anywhere in the States. I was told initially that Hopkins was doing some but I cannot locate any on their site either. When is Biogen going to start doing some Phase II or III trials in the states?????

My sister was born blind in 1 eye and has had Optic Neuritis 3 times which unfortunately hit her good eye. She now has pinhole vision and I stumbled upon Anti LINGO 1. We live in MA and would be interested in finding out about any clinical trials of this new medication if possible. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
