That's good then
Thanks Danny Boy!
Entering 'Autifony clinical trial' into Google brings this thread up on page 2.
Maybe the strict selection criteria has excluded almost all potential participants.
No problem. I'm still hoping it gets fast-tracked.
It's the placebo.. which excluded many people!
Wall paths lead to China.^^
It has to do with the therapeutic potential of the drug and not who "deserves" it the most; clinical trials are never about the patients themselves, but about all the future patients...I think they deserve to try it first >.<

10-12 weeks to go for completion according clinicaltrails.gov.
Let's hope we get an update and more details if AUT00063 is efficent or not.
I strongly believe that they are on the right way and we will have a pill for some relief.
Afterwards my bets goes on Genvtec to restore haircells. All in!
Impatient much? It takes at least one more year before results are published. Probably longer! For Phase II! Then there is Phase 3. Good luck waiting 10 years for this drug to come market (if they find it is successful, that is!!).Are there any news on this damn autifony?
Have they started a proper trial yet or still fiddling with patient intake?
you do realize there are people out there barely hanging on by a thread right....Impatient much?

yes i know.it it was her quote that rubbed me the wrong way..Yeah but this drug isn't coming out anytime soon. If phase II results are no good it might never come out at all.

Yes, they are still recruiting!! I'm going in end of the month for all the tests to see if I'll be accepted. I've spoken to the assistants helping at the research clinic in London and although they have had a big response, many of of potential trialees coming in do not fit their criteria eg have had Tinnitus too long or their hearing is 'too good'.Are there any news on this damn autifony?

The hearing loss requirement is just mind boggling to me... I would think people will less damaged ears could respond better to medication. That's just me though.
The requirements now is that you have to have more than - 20 in ONE of the frequencies between 4000-8000, plus you have to pass the medical.The hearing loss requirement is just mind boggling to me...

I totally agree. I'll try to get as much info from them when I go and fingers crossed I will be acceptedWhy this arbitrary value between 4000-8000? It doesn't make any sense really. Hearing loss at 12 khz can lead to tinnitus all the same. There is just no reasoning for this.
I hate how most of these medications only focus on people who have had tinnitus for a few months. What about those who have had it for years? I think they deserve to try it first >.< Hopefully if all goes well, we all get a fair chance! It's 2015. If we can play 3D games without glasses I think we can find cures, lmao.

It might be because it's easier to convince FDA or whoever approved drugs into market that people actually had tinnitus in the trials instead of making it up due to some personality disorder or whatever. Maybe they feel safer too that people with hearing loss won't report improvement after placebo treatment?
To me its obvious they want to stack the odds because, if their med will work in reality on 20% of people they still want to pass those tests as if it works in 80% of patients because:
a) they will earn money
b) someone somewhere will get some relief even if not as many as in tests thats good enough for some researchers but not for FDA.

you are hoping to fast track something that does not exist???
i think we better hope chinese make something shanghai and hong kong university is on first 3 in world, while EU and usa are far behind...
