Vernalis announces positive results for Parkinson's Disease treatment study

Posted: Published on December 13th, 2012

LONDON (ShareCast) - AIM-listed pharmaceutical company Vernalis (Berlin: BBP2.BE - news) has published positive results for a Receptor Occupancy study of an antagonist with potential applications for Parkinson's disease and other Central Nervous System indications. The study examined the relationship between dose, plasma concentration and blockade of the so-called "A2A (MDD: A2A.MDD - news) " receptor using positron emission tomography scanning and included a preliminary evaluation, using functional magnetic resonance imaging of the effects of V81444, the particular antangonist, on cognitive function. The study demonstrated that full A2A blockade could be achieved with single doses that were within the range of doses previously shown to be well tolerated with no safety concerns. As such, the study has provided confirmation of the appropriate dose to be used in the forthcoming clinical proof-of-concept trial. Vernalis now plans to initiate, in the first half of next year, a Phase IIa proof-of-concept study to further evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and tolerability of V81444 in patients, together with an evaluation of efficacy in a target patient population. Ian Garland, Chief Executive Officer of Vernalis, commented: "We are very pleased with these results and are already actively preparing for the continued development of this exciting programme … Continue reading →

Intensive Care Specialist Doctor Peter Saul says some doctors reflect a death-denying Australian culture and offer futile treatment because it is easier than having difficult conversations. He says medically ineffective treatment happens daily. Ms Plibersek told AM doctors need to make sure they are acting in their patients' best interests. "I spoke to lead clinicians in New South Wales recently and challenged them on this issue of how they communicate with patients," she said. "Doctors have to be very sure that what they're doing is what the patient wants and in their best interests. "I would be very disappointed to think that doctors are offering ... treatment, because it's quicker to have the conversation or easier to have the conversation." Former nurse Miriam Dayhew recently told the ABC about what she calls futile surgery her brother endured just before he died of laryngeal or throat cancer. "I found it remarkable and distressing that we were going to that point in care. … Continue reading →
