      I wouldn't say grift. He was awarded a large amount of our tax money that kept him in a well paid job for years. If nothing comes of it, he still gets paid. I do think these grants should have a performance related element to them. He was babbling on about going down the epilepsy route last time I heard. The thread is simply dead.

      30 years? He has been receiving funds since 2010 (I read this on the ATA website) from the US Defence Department. What results has he obtained? Why are they still paying him? For what? For nothing?

      Did Prof. Tzounopoulos not say XEN1101's mechanism of action is quite similar to that of his drug? Their half activation voltages are quite similar meaning there shouldn't be too much difference between the two. Meaning we would know if his research had any merit or not three years from now.

      Also, if he wants to leave an impact, he'd better switch over to the elusive Compound 60 instead of wasting time with his RL-81, I mean why not, he couldn't figure out a solution for the toxicity issues of his product for years now. From the looks of Compound 60, it is the stronger Kv7 opener and may lead to shorter treatment periods with more effective results.

      Nah. @Nick47 is right.

      If this helped at all, it would have been out already. Hell, they'd fast-track it. They'd be in a rush to get it out before XEN1101. Billions of dollars are at stake here, and you don't want to be outdone by the competition.

      Yeah. Well played, Prof. Tzounopoulos.

      We can say that Prof. Tzounopoulos and Dr. Shore are high-performing scientists.

      Now that XEN1101 is most likely out of the tinnitus game, is there anything else left? :dunno:

      Who has said XEN1101 is most likely out of the tinnitus game? You're full of optimism, aren't you?

      I hate to be pessimistic, but besides people having theories, is there any real evidence from any source that XEN1101 helps with tinnitus?
