Your the best and Informative doctor for multiple sclerosis MS impacts so many of us it’s really refreshing to have somebody like you on our side that understands.

[leahmariee]

Hell yeah id do a clinical. Wish my neurologist would've told me that from the beginning honestly. Cause I'd do it

[deborahwagner]

Your information is so easy to follow. Thank you from a forty year active multiple sclerosis survivor.

Yes, I would do a clinical trial. When I was first diagnosed with MS in 2005, I was enrolled in the CombiRx Phase III trial. I was a subject for almost 7 years and feel that the treatment I received (both Copaxone and Avonex) was impactful on disease progression. Now. I am looking to find a study since I’m 16 years post-Dx without a relapse and off meds since 2018. Thank you for your informative videos!

4 years post diagnosis with PPMS I would consider clinical trials especially for remyelination drugs. Thanks again for the video Dr. Boster.

[RachieeeM]

I'm so thankful for everyone that participates in clinical trials. I'm not sure if I would ever participate. At this stage my MS diagnosis is still so new and thankfully under control with tysabri

[DrBrandonBeaber]

Nice video. I definitely have a lot of respect for people who participate in clinical trials. It's also a lot of work to enroll people and perform the evaluations and fill out the paperwork, so hats off to you as well.

[kimberlyflanigan]

side note... i LOVE the egg on the table behind you... second side note..i was part of the Tysabri trials from phase one (double blind) starting in 2001... was on it for over 15 years.... so glad i was part of that trial! Thank you for these informative and fun videos!

You are a phenomenal teacher and doctor! Thank you for all that you do!💕

I'm in a clinical trial for Ocrevus to study gait function. It's fun, really. The bi-weekly fall reports I have to do have been helpful to me, too.

[martinm]

in January 2012 I have started a "one-man-trial" with DMF, my GP was onboard and checked my blood every 4 months. Worldwide, the drug "BG-12" (now known as Tecfidera) was finishing its phase-3 trial at that time. Regulations here in Slovakia make trials extremely unappealing to doctors. I browse trough MS-drug trials about once a year to check if there is maybe something appealing opening in a country nearby.

[cameronsexton]

Affirmative, and great video as always Dr. B.

[nonpathogenicb]

Hello Dr Boster. Thank you for bringing this topic up. You're the most caring and informative doctor I've ever seen :) Being a MS patient myself, I'm also a Clinical Research Associate, working on clinical trials. It's a long journey and we always appreciate the volunteers and caring investigators. Hope our paths cross at some point in one of the Clinical Trials. With Heart.

[FotomanCalgary]

I just finished an HCQ clinical trial at the University of Alberta MS clinic. Was 18 months but didn't affect my PPMS the way that they were hoping, or how I was hoping it would. Mine has progressed over this last year (I was diagnosed in Sept 2019) and it's at the point now that I can't do my physical job, and will have to hopefully be transferred to an administrative position with the same company.

[richardj]

Yes, I am American based in Sweden currently for a PhD. I would volunteer for a clinical trial. I believe I already am with the medication I use.

[dulcemia]

I don’t want to participate in a clinical trial at this time because of the highly effective med that I’m on. I have been in a vaccine trial in the past and I’m grateful to all participants that were in the trial for my MS drug. If things change with how I respond to my med, I’d defiantly participate in a study.

[cubbi]

I usually get a call when they have a trial going. I always say if they have a trial I can participate in, I’m going to do it. So many questions that I want answers to can come from a trial

[chucko]

I would definitely do it. Anything to improve treatment for the MS community is a great thing. Thanks for another great video.

[moveforward]

I would love to be in one but I am unsure that anyone would want me! With 97 brain lesions and a 6.8% lesion burden would that even be a candidate? I truly think those that have been participants are heroes to those that have followed with the disease! Thanks previous trial folks!

[ezaserrano]

Helpful video!

I was readying to be involved with an MS trial about a year after I had been diagnosed.

The trial involved only MRI’s as far as I’d known but my family felt that I would be better off focusing on treatment at that time.

I’d be willing to attempt another trial in the future especially with the clarity your video has brought me.
