TRIALS OF CELL-BASED THERAPY DON'T COME OUT OF THE BLUE
Some thoughts on Geron's start of stem cell-based therapy for spinal
injury.

http://www.alscenter.org/news/briefs/090218.cfm

Late last month, ALS sufferers' hearts had to quicken at the
announcement by the biotech firm, Geron, hailing the start of
clinical trials of a stem cell-based therapy for new spinal injuries.

Though the trial is a Phase I study meant to see if injected cells
are safe for humans, and though its patient subjects have had their
very specific spinal cord injuries only one-to-two weeks, the
appearance of an authentic trial involving potentially therapeutic
cells - ones aimed at lessening or preventing paralysis - is exciting.

What about trying out those cells or similar ones for ALS injuries to
the nervous system?

"Packard researchers in this country and Europe are doing an enormous
amount of work to sort out the many steps necessary to discover which
cells to use one day in ALS patients," says Packard Director Jeffrey
Rothstein. "But even after that most essential work, after the
appropriate cell type stands well out from the others, questions
remain.

"These are not simply safety questions," Rothstein says: Many of our
ALS patients would be willing to try a new therapy and fully
understand the risks.

What needs answering are questions of benefit and of procedure. "How
do you administer the cells," he asks, "so the risk of getting them
is justified by their potential to relieve the disease or improve
quality of life?

"The impediments to our progress now are typical of what you'd
encounter for any potential new therapeutic drug," he explains. How
many cells are appropriate to deliver?
  That's the equivalent of finding the appropriate dose of a drug.

What's the best way to distribute the cells throughout the brain and
spinal cord? That is akin to asking how often you give a drug.

Do you give the cells through an IV or by direct surgical injection?
What happens to cells after we put them in? Do they divide like
tumors? Do they die and cause a scar that would hasten ALS
effects?  "Those are questions we must first sort out in animals,"
says Rothstein.

And a cell therapy carries its own unique concerns: How do we know
that the 'good' cells we put into one patient are identical to those
we'd culture and give a patient a year later? Quality assurance
issues are well-established for drugs like penicillin, Rothstein
adds, but they have to get worked out for every new type of stem cell.

The Packard Center has been doing its homework, however - not just
for its own scientists but for the world's.

A DECADE OF GROUNDWORK

For almost 10 years, our researchers have been laying the groundwork
for possible cell therapy for ALS. Many of their published studies
have likely influenced the Geron trial-planners.  Here are a few:

- Packard scientist Doug Kerr was the first to show that an animal
model of a paralytic disease could be helped by injections of stem
cells.
- Packard Director Jeff Rothstein and his team solidified the
suspicion that motor neurons' natural protectors are its neighboring
glial cells - that they remove harmful toxins as they collect in
nervous system tissues under assault. (The cells injected in the
Geron study have the potential to become glial cells, those
widespread nervous system cells in close proximity to motor neurons.)
- Work by Don Cleveland and Jean-Pierre Julien sent researchers
scurrying more surely to explore the concept of glial cells as
protectors. They revealed that keeping glia healthy can protect even
motor neurons carrying an ALS gene.
- Nicholas Maragakis and Mahendra Rao showed investigators everywhere
how to isolate, culture and precisely identify glial-restricted
precursor (GRP) cells - the broad class of "undeveloped" cells akin
to the cell types Geron is injecting.
- Maragakis and Rao demonstrated that GRPs are neuroprotective - both
in cultures that mimic the nervous system and in live animal models
of ALS. Maragakis and Rothstein have gone on to clarify much of the
underlying biology.

MORE RECENT WORK

Because they specialize in ALS biology, Packard scientists know to
target stem cell and related therapies where they'd potentially do
the most good. Last November, for example, they reported a key step,
an animal study in which they injected glial-restricted precursors
precisely around the cervical spinal cord home to motor neurons that
permit breathing. Paralysis of those neurons precipitates death in
ALS.

The rat ALS models in the study survived significantly longer. Their
forelimbs and breathing muscles stayed strong and functional far
longer, while motor neuron loss slowed. "This shows us that targeting
cell delivery to critical spinal areas is certainly worthy of
investigating as a therapy for ALS, as a way to slow specific types
of motor neuron loss," says researcher Nicholas Maragakis. Now work
needed to inch closer to clinical trials is underway.

* * *

In the last six months, Maragakis and colleague Hongjun Song have
been working at what can only be described as ALS's leading edge:
they've begun studying human pluripotent stem cells created from the
skin of a patient with familial ALS.

One of the few recent, legitimate scientific breakthroughs, the
technique involves reprogramming the patient's skin cells to behave
like stem cells. Then the stem cells are coaxed to become motor
neurons. This means that Packard scientists will be able to study the
progress of real ALS disease in real human cells, something that was
out of reach before.

About The Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins
www.alscenter.org

Located in Baltimore, the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at
Johns Hopkins is a worldwide collaboration of scientists aimed at
developing therapies and a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease.

The Center is the only institution of its kind dedicated solely to
the disease. Its research is meant to translate rapidly from the lab
bench to the clinic, largely by eliminating time spent waiting for
grants and lowering institutional barriers to sharing scientific
results.

Scientists and clinician members of the Packard Center have moved
drugs reliably and rapidly from preclinical experiments to human
trials. Direct or indirect links to international biotech or
pharmaceutical companies bring the infrastructure and experience
needed to make promising drugs into therapies.

Packard scientists are the first to propose and test a combination
approach to drug therapy, a tactic that has worked for AIDS, cancer
and other diseases.

ALS is a progressive, disabling neuromuscular disease that causes
complete paralysis and loss of function - including the ability to
eat, speak and breathe. ALS progresses quickly and is not curable.
Most patients die within five years of diagnosis.

Dear all,
Hope your ALS loved one is doing fine?
Please do post their symptoms so that we can help each other.
At times, you would be surprised as to how small small things can make
a difference.

E.g. If your ALS patient cannot control his/ her neck anymore, one can
get a head rest made from any local welding shop, get foam put on it
from a local foam shop. Make spoace for their head to get fixed into
it...This can be attcahed to their wheel chair or any normal chair they
sit on.
This way, your loved one can hold their neck upright and watch TV, talk
to you without any problem.

This is just 1 small tips, I am sure all of you have great tips at ur
ends too.
Please share...
That is the whole idea why this group exists.

Regards,
Gaurav.

To all my fellow PALS and CALS.
Here's wishing you all a very happy new year.
Hope this year brings with itself great discoveries that eliminate
ALS and similar diseases from this world.

Below is the email from ALS Association, US.


Dear Gaurav,

When the clock strikes midnight on December 31st, people throughout
the world will cheer and wish each other a very Happy New Year.  This
event is more than a change of a calendar.  For most, the start of
the New Year symbolizes the beginning of a better tomorrow. Who
doesn't long for a second chance, a fresh start, the chance to repair
an injustice, or for another embrace from a loved one?

With the radical shift in our economy, 2008 was a year that many
people of our nation experienced an abrupt change in their life's
plan. Those of us affected by ALS can empathize.  We can understand
being blown off-course, and suddenly cast into uncharted waters with
little guidance or hope.  At times like this, we all must take a deep
breath and focus on what is truly important.  We are all so fortunate
to have found one another under such challenging circumstances.

Looking ahead to 2009, let's renew our commitment to our mission
statement and refocus on our vision.  The ALS Association is the only
non-profit organization fighting Lou Gehrig's Disease on every
front.  By leading the way in global research, providing assistance
for people with ALS through a nationwide network of chapters,
coordinating multidisciplinary care through certified clinical care
centers, and fostering government partnerships, The Association
builds hope and enhances quality of life while aggressively searching
for new treatments and a cure.

Never forget that The Greater Bay Area Chapter is here to support and
to advocate for your needs now, while leading the fight for the cure.
We are here to help you care for and honor your loved ones.  By
subscribing to and forwarding our monthly eNewsletter, we can keep
you informed of breaking news, support groups, our Walks and Rides,
and important events in the fight to defeat ALS.

We will never, ever give up  You, Gaurav, are a part of that effort.
And together, united, we will triumph.

From all of us at The ALS Association Greater Bay Area Chapter, thank
you for all of your support and dedication in 2008.

We wish to you a very Happy New Year.

"Head and Shoulders Knees and Toes" Canadian PSA

The ALS Society of Canada has launched a new public service
advertising campaign created by Lowe Roche, Toronto to raise
awareness about Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and the ALS
Society's efforts to fund research towards a cure for the disease.

Created by Lowe Roche on a pro bono basis, the 60-second television
public service announcement, "Head and Shoulders" is composed of a
montage of clips, each one focusing on a man with ALS in emotionally
charged moments as his disease advances to different parts of his
body. Set to the children's song, "Head and Shoulders, Knees and
Toes", as the spot progresses, and his conditions worsen, the
cheerful singing becomes a sad whisper.

"We chose to create a spot that was musically and emotionally driven
to raise awareness for ALS," said Christina Yu, Vice President,
Creative Director, Lowe Roche.

"This song is one which everybody can relate to and we wanted to use
it unconventionally to illustrate how this disease eventually affects
every body part ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a rapidly
progressive and fatal neuromuscular disease that causes the
degeneration of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. As the
nerve cells die, people with ALS lose control of their muscles, which
makes breathing, eating and even smiling almost impossible. Eighty
per cent
of those diagnosed will die within two to five years. There is no
known cure or effective treatment of ALS.

"Lowe Roche has created a very powerful commercial that we think will
help the public better understand what ALS is all about," explains
Bobbi Greenberg, Director of Communications, ALS Society of
Canada. "We're very appreciative of their dedication to this project
and of those who donated their time and services during the
production process. We're certain that their efforts will help us
raise the funds we desperately need to proceed with research
initiatives that will ultimately help us find effective therapies and
a cure for this devastating disease

NO problem.
Let me know if you need any other info or help.
This group and its members are here to help you deal with this
disease and take necessary measures to live with it.

G...

Hello guys,

My father was diagnosed with ALS two months ago at NIMHANS, Bangalore, and has
been on riluzole ever since. It has helped him a lot since I noticed that his
situation becomes worse whenever he is off of it. A couple of days ago, he lost
his Riluzole tables while he was traveling to his native village, and his
condition is degrading rapidly because of that. We used to get his riluzole
tablets at a local store, but they typically take more than two weeks to get the
tablets, but I need them right now since his mobility is degrading very rapidly.

I am wondering if it is possible for anybody here to be kind enough to send a
couple of tablets  (20 or so) to the below mentioned address so that he could
use them until the new batch arrives. We can be contacted at 988-621-4333.

Tips for Newly-Diagnosed ALS Patients from Will Hubben

id=383&CFID=276498&CFTOKEN=3618783

Please visit the following for more info on ALS scams.
There are tons of people out there who would want to make a quick buck
at the cost of someone's health or vulnerable position.

It is our duty to inform such things to everyone else.

Hi Gopal.
This is a scam.
I had it checked while I was doing my research.
I spoke to a couple of CALS who confirmed that this is a money
minting facility with absolutely no care or concern for ALS.
What they portray online is nothing in reality.

A friend of mine (a fellow CALS) had taken her bro to the same from
Australia. He was mortified after seeing that it was worse than a
govt hospital and there is no guarantee that they can or claim to
cure ALS.
I am sorry for giving you the bad news but it's better to be away
from such hospitals cos in the long run they not only cause financial
damage but also are very demotivating for the patient and the
caretaker.

Another scam is Mototab, made in Scotland or Norway. You can get more
info from Lalit.
I actually sent  a friend of mine who was living in Scotland to
collect the drug for my father. He came back with the reply that the
address is just a mailbox and there is no person on the same.

I will keep everyone posted for anymore scams I come across.
I was also doing some research on Monocycline but the docs have
claimed that it cannot cure or prolong ALS.

Tc everyone...

P.S. I am sure I told you this before but in case I haven't, I have
officially become the first International Ambassador for ALS Therapy
Development Institute based in US. Still trying to figure out how we
can get their help in expanding our group and providing more info to
everyone out there who needs it....
Tc....God bless...

Hi Lalit,
If you can send me a xerox of the same, I would appreciate it...
Or else, you can give me the book store details in Noida and I can
get it picked up.

My address is:
Gaurav Jain
House No. 790, Sector 4,
Urban Estate,
Gurgaon. 122001
Haryana.

Thanks a ton...
Let me know whatever you decide.
How is your Dad doing??

Hello all,
Any idea where in India, can we can find books on ALS?

I tried finding Eric is Winning but could not find it with the Book
stores in Delhi or in Gurgaon?

They were available on Amazon but the shipping would of course take
more time.

Do let me know pls..

Thanks.
