The video was very good and hopeful. Yet it was indicated by Jerry Williams two months ago as having been a negative study. Does this mean arimoclomol has been ruled out as a treatment. Is rapamycin being considered anywhere for the treatment of IBM?
Unfortunately, it was a negative study and has been ended. We are working hard to move forward to the next opportunities to help find a treatment for IBM.
When will arimoclomol be available as a treatment for IBM in the UK? My father has suffered from it for 10 years now, getting progressively worse and is now unable to walk without a frame and can only get up from a raised chair. His consultant had heard of the drug but did not realise it could be a treatment for IBM.
Thank you.
