Alzheimers and spinal cord injuries are two groups with almost nothing to lose if the drug proves innefective or has unexpected side effects, yet it will take 3 to 7 years to get approval. I wonder how many people with alzheimers will die or move beyond hope, or how many people with spinal cord injuries will see their legs or bodes atrophy during those 3 to 7 years.
I suspect that this is the type of drug that if it shows promise gets expedited approval.
I imagine a lot of them will volunteer for early study.
