THAT’s GREAT! HOPE & PRAY TO HEAR YOU MADE IT IN!.................
None closer? Where do you live? Idaho?...........
Why must I wear a condom to test a hearing-related drug?
Hope you get in, and get the good stuff!
Big Island, Hawaii. I hate 6 hour flights. Paralyzed at the end of them.
I have an Uncle there!.......................(If he’s still alive. I haven’t heard from him in decades)....................
Because certain drugs can be transferred through semen and the interaction with whatever medication your partner is taking may not play nice with a new, unknown drug.
Dr House said so, and I checked with my own doctor and he verified it.
They don’t know where your head has been......................8^)
Very cool. I hope it goes well!
It is not a condom it is a rubber glove.
Why does chickensoup have to point out these obvious things?
What’s the difference between a rubber glove and a condom? ............4 fingers..................
Thanks for the ping. Sadly I’m too young (45). It’s a shame I’d qualify by every other requirement. Oh well hopefully it’ll come to be offered to the general public soon.
For the hard of hearing.
But you don’t WANT to be hard of hearing.
UPDATE: Clinical Trial: Study Drug AUT00063
I just had a telephone interview with the doctor doing trails in my area, I met all criteria but was rejected for one reason, the severity of my Tinnitis as I described it and the fact it is a constant, I told her I thought Tinnitis was what this trial is specifically about, I told her how I got to her trial by reading about the U.K. trail, she said yes but that trial phase was called “QUIET 1” focused on Tinnitus, the trial phase here in the U.S. is called “Clarity 1” focused on hearing loss, same U.K. based company same drug; different trials, any way she said there will be other phases to the trials so she will keep me on record as my condition may not be an eliminating factor in future trials.
It seems it will be several years before anything comes of this drug, if anything at all, I was looking forward to it; was going to keep ya’ll informed every step of the way but she did not like hearing how bad it is or the fact I’ve had tinnitus for some 35years I was gold until then, I talked to much I guess, intermittent or mild Tinnitus might have been okay.
Thanks for Ping List hopefully someday no more noise, oh side note; they were paying for being in this trial minimum 300 dollars for about 42 days of taking the drug and keeping a diary, 3 maybe 4 visits to the clinic (less than 4 miles from me) and the rest is done by phone, too think I could of been rich.
I am truly sorry you did not make the cut. I was hoping you could have given us a day by day progress report. Maybe you will be included with the next phase, if the QUIET-1 version gets to that stage here in the US.............
The results of this phase of study will be released in February for the UK and March for the US, so I’ll keep an ‘EAR’ out for it!.......................
How disappointing. I’m sorry you weren’t accepted for the study. It would have been very interesting to hear about the way in which they conduct the clinical trial.
