Canadian researchers reach ’major milestone’ in search for ALS treatment
74% Informative
Bill Traynor , 70 , is the world’s first ALS patient to receive a drug this way.
Traynor is the first of six patients in a Phase 1 clinical trial to determine the safety of administering drugs through non-invasive ultrasound waves to ALS patients.
The blood-brain barrier is there to protect us, so it keeps viruses, bacteria and toxins out of the brain.
Researchers will be looking for biomarkers of inflammation in Bill Traynor ’s blood and cerebrospinal fluid.
They’ve cautioned Traynor that this trial is not expected to result in any form of treatment.
But Traynor still sees the study as a source of hope, calling it “exciting to be a guinea pig”.
