Original: Clinical trial of a prion disease drug candidate begins enrolling participants
A clinical trial of a drug candidate for prion disease has begun enrolling participants, according to the Broad Institute. Prion diseases are rare, universally fatal neurodegenerative conditions with no approved treatment, so the start of enrollment marks a significant step for researchers and patient families. The news is drawing attention as a possible first therapeutic option for an area of medicine long without one.
Why now: Prion diseases are always fatal with no approved treatments, so any trial progress carries high interest for patients and researchers
