Pagoclone

[Stevelaz]

Pagoclone will soon be starting its FDA phase III trials, so I wondered if there was anyone on the forum that was involved in the Phase II trials and how the drug was for them.

I know that this will not be a cure, however an effective drug along with therapy will be good news for us all.

Because if you discontinue taking it, your stutter will return.
That is a crutch (maybe a very good one), not a cure.

thank you silent
if l continue taking it,there will be serious side affect or not
and do you think pagoclone will succeesful in end of trial III

[Stevelaz]

The drug will NOT be a cure......Phase II trials indicated that it helped 55% of people taking the drug......people of certain stuttering sub-types but not all.

A drug linked with a good therapy is the best option for success.

I am hopeful that the drug passes Phase III and it is released in 2010/2011.

what the exactly date of trial III pagoclone
in the end of 2008 or in the begining of 2009

[Stevelaz]

As far as I know, they have not set a firm date for the Phase III trials, they expect them to start "soon", but we dont know how long "soon" means.

Thx
