Current treatment trials

My last post was a nerdy list of pathogenetic mechanisms in PSP along with the statement that treatments to address most of those mechanisms are in the clinical pipeline. One of you wrote in to kick me out of my lofty, scientific detachment, asking just what those treatment candidates are. So here’s a list.

The first four panels are active trials and the last is future trials.

The first two and last panels show neuroprotection trials (i.e., to slow disease progression).

The third and fourth show symptomatic trials (i.e., to help the symptoms without affecting the underlying disease process).

For current information on how to enroll, visit clinicaltrials.gov and search on the drug and/or sponsor and/or “progressive supranuclear palsy.”

  1. Thank you for this. I am a new caregiver since a final diagnosis in late May for my husband. I am finding I have to do my own research. In the support calls I am just hearing about preparing for end of life. Not acceptable. I found a clinical study for my husband myself. Please keep helping people with this disease and their caregivers.

  2. Thank you, I very much appreciate this and all the efforts you go through to keep us informed and updated. I ama physician so naturally I have an academic interest in all of this however unfortunately my father carries this devastating diagnosis and I am thus invested in this information in other ways as well.
