Cross your fingers. Hi Jeremy,

The recent "clinical hold" they enforced on Geron, means no trials will start until the FDA decides how they're going to monitor the therapy. To gain more insight on the political struggle for a cure, I'd suggest reading stemcellbattles.com. As for the how the trials will work, and who will be candidates, I invite you to read this post, entries #1, 11, 13, and 17. Entry 13 refers to the therapy I've written about. http://sci.rutgers.edu/forum/showthread.php?t=98549&page=2 David and Paul,

I really am glad that I have recovered to this degree but feel that I would be a great candidate for a trial such as this. Is there a phase 2 trial possibly or another study that I could find out about becoming a candidate for? Is there somewhere that I could find out about trials and the research that is being done at this time to see when and where the liklihood of any type of treatment may become available. I am lacking fine motor skills in my right side so I am sure that my case might be easier than an acute injury. Is ther a reason why they would not choose an easier case before one like mine? I appreciate your time in reading my response and look forward to whatever information you can provide to me.

Your daughter is in the same category as me, and considered to have a "chronic" injury. We'll have to wait for the first trials to be completed to see what the results are. The good news is that I was told the therapy should work for "chronic" injuries too. I would imagine when all is said and done, that the procedures used will be a collaboration of a few techniques.
