Tinnitus Research Initiative / Annual TRI Conferences

Hudson I also think the research by autifony is looking good. I had never heard about them before. Was there any trials of their drug ever done?

 

I don't think that any clinical trials on humans have been done by Autifony. I can't find any solid information on what kind of a molecule AUT3 is, other than that it is a Kv3.1 potassium channel modulator. I have no idea then if they would try any trials on that particular modulator, or if they would try and develop similar compounds with fewer side effects before going into clinical trials. Basically, I don't know a whole lot other than they have not performed clinical trials with this yet.

Clearly I lied in my earlier post. It seems within the last week Autifony has greatly revamped their website with all sorts of new information. They even have on that link that they are conducting a phase 1 clinical trial (they are based in the UK so I am assuming it might be there). The good news about their compound is that it seems to be directed at chronic tinnitus cases.

People *cough* Louise *cough* in Europe might be excited to hear about it. I sent them an email asking a bit more information about their trial, let's see if they divulge any. A search on clinicaltrials.gov site search reveals nothing about Autifony.

They seem to be getting things around pretty quickly after they presented their results at the TRI conference, entering into Phase 1 trials. Perhaps there's a bit more of an industry race going on than what we realize.

 

Ooooo interesting!!! Yes they are moving fast aren't they. When they reply to your e mail will you let us know what they say. Thanks

 

Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan is working on a DOD sponsored research project. They will be the first with a "cure" for Tinnitus...whether it is a silencer or a "get rid of her",,,,all the same they will be the ones. Check out the studies for Tinnitus at Wayne State. I have been part of their research program in the last year and am very confident after speaking with the scientists that they already have steps in place to come out with the news in the next two years.

 

From reading the page after googling "Tinnitus Wayne State", it sounds like their approach is via invasive surgery and implants. Is this something you are participating in?

 

From the researchers profile page, they specify they are now testing his research results on humans. So this is not animal model, which is a good step forward.

 

Hey all, the Tinnitus Research Initiative conference is coming up in March in New Zealand. Anyone on the board attending? It would be great to have someone feed us some news, since some of the top researchers will be there discussing the latest. Here's a link, so you can check out the speakers. http://www.tri2014.org.nz/tri14

My audiologist is giving a podium talk, so maybe I can get some details on other presentations from her.

 

It would be cool if they posted a pdf listing the talks, projects and paper names anticipated at the event like they did last year. That was very cool in that it gave us an idea of what to expect. I found out about Autifony from that.

 

That's a shame. I just thought that if the next conference is held somewhere in Europe I would be delighted to try to attend it. But flying to NZ is way too expensive. Guess, we'll have to rely on what we hear from your audiologist

 

oh and usually these kind of conferences are for researchers, registrations can be VERY expensive. Unless you are scientifically knowledgable about the subject, most talks would be gibberish for most of us

 

The review process ( of abstracts ) has finished and notification has been sent. I think as last year and the year before the abstracts will be available in pdf after the conference. Please, who gets to them first, let's publish here. I translate some articles on the czech web about tinnitus.

 

The 8th conference finishes tomorrow. We can expect an abstractbook soon.

 

Here is the booklet with amongst other things the abstracts of the presentations: http://www.tinnitusresearch.org/en/meetings/files2014/TRI_14_Handbook_EM.pdf

Looks less "sciency" than usual.

 

Great Site

What a wonderful conference. I am a media content creator. Ive been to hundred if not more conferences.
Here one that will benefit all those with this awful malady.

 

I see TRI has on its main page a link to TRIH, which is NOT an initiative of TRI.

TRIH which is Translational Reserch Initiative for Hearing is entirely an initiative of Action on Hearing Loss, in fact its one of the best programs for research globally
http://www.actiononhearingloss.org.uk/your-hearing/biomedical-research/trih.aspx

Nothing to do with TRI.

 

Are you suggesting they are misleading people?

Don't you see the part: Welcome to the first issue of the Action on Hearing Loss Translational Research Initiative for Hearing (TRIH) newsletter.

They mention Action on Hearing Loss. It's a link to another good initiative. They are not trying to make it look like theirs. You are reading too much into it.
