Vitamin C News: USA clinical trials for CMT 1A

[Guest guest]

News from the April, 2006 CMT Clinic at Wayne State University.

Clinical Trials for CMT1A

We have made a lot of progress on our clinical trial for patients

with CMT1A. Researchers in France found that high levels of ascorbic

acid (Vitamin C) given to mice with CMT1A seemed to actually improve

their condition. We have designed the study and have applied for a

grant for funding. The trial will operate out of three centers: Wayne

Stare University, s Hopkins University, and the University of

Rochester, in NY. We hope to start the trial by the end of 2006.

Patients enrolled in the study will have to make 6 to 7 visits over

the course of two years to a center to be followed in the study.
