It’s moving to a phase I trial, that means it’s just being tested for tolerability and adverse effects. A firm conclusion about outcome won’t be available until a phase III trial is completed, that’s years down the line. So we don’t know, but looks promising.
- petra 8y agoAssuming this gets "breakthrough therapy" designation how many years down the line will it be available ?
- jf- 8y agoWell it's not a drug, and I assume that they're using previously approved medical devices to apply it. It seems to me to be more like a new surgical technique. In that case it may just be a matter of finding a physician willing to apply it, though without safety or efficacy data I would expect that number to be hovering around zero.
