[Guest guest]

Persons wishing to participate in the USA's first clinical trials of

closest trial center to them for information. Those are:

Univ. of Rochester Dr. Herrmann

david_herrmann@...

Wayne State Dr. ralewis@...

Unfortunately, no trials are scheduled for the Western USA at this

time.

Persons wishing to participate must have a genetic confirmation of

CMT 1A or have immediate family who has had the gene testing with

confirmation by the NCV testing. The age range is 13 - 70, and

unfortunately at this time will not consider women who are pregnant.

No charges to trial participants will be made, but it is the

participant's responsibility to pay their own transportation for

check-ins. The trials include 2 visits a year to the trial site over

a period of 2 years, even though the trials will last for 3 years.

80% of trial subjects will be given an oral dose by mouth and not a

placebo to begin. As the trial progreses, if the results are

positive, all of the participants will be given a high dose of

Ascorbic Acid.
