Looking at 2019

[#LHB#]

I know we are already 2 months into this year. Is anybody looking forward to anything this year as far as research goes? Don?t follow it like I use too. Any clinical trials coming up this year that are promising?

Great idea to put all of these in one thread.

For starters here are 2 or 3 that have a path to become mainstream treatments, hope there are others.

The SCInetUSA trial talked about here all the time

The ReNetX trial

Also the NRT trial might come about for FDA approval this year.

What exactly is ReNetX? What do they do and is it promising?

IMHO, anything that's being developed is promising:

Chronic was discussed last month in this thread.

Sweet! thanks Grammy!

Maybe we'll have a cure in 25 years.

[DeadEye]

5 years! There'll be a cure in 5 years! At least that's what I was told in 1972.

I don't know why people try to make such predictions. One would have thought there could have been a cure for cancer by now too but it hasn't happened.

I think we know why... $$ $$

I doubt a research grant is more desirable than the billions a cancer cure would be worth to a scientist. Nobody would burn a 100 billion dollar winning lottery ticket just to have a job to go to next week.

Of course... I was simply referring to the earlier comment about why people "make such (five year) predictions."

Bottom line: A perpetual grant cycle can be as much a career strategy as it is a valuable research asset.

Going back to the original question, does anyone know of any others?

There has been enormous progress in the treatment of most cancer types in the past 20 years. Survival from and complete eradication of a person's cancer disease is common. Incurable HIV has been cured in some cases.

Meanwhile, there have been no effective commercial treatments developed and available for chronic SCI. Ever.

SCI also hasn't had more than a tiny sliver of the money and manpower that HIV or cancer has had for the past 20 years.
