Hi
I was wondering if anyone else here knows someone who has been on the drugs trial for LMTX- the drug produced by TauRx? My Mum has been on this trial the past 18 months or so and has been attending a MAC Cinic every few weeks. However, this week was the final visit and despite what we have been led to believe, we have now been told that Mum will NOT continue to receive the drug now the trial has finished. We haven't been given a definitive reason as to why this is the case (I suspect it's funding related)and feel very angry about it, particularly as according to the research clinic, she hasn't shown any signs of decline since the trial began; the drug may well have been working for her.
I feel like we were given false hope by being told she would continue with the meds once the trial was over. Each clinic appointment and MRI scan was very stressful for my mother, as she still does not accept there is anything wrong with her, so for there to be nothing to take from this at the end is extremely frustrating!
I'd love to hear of other people's experiences of this trial, or if they have had similar experiences on another drugs trial.
Thanks for reading, Nools.
