When I had talked to my Mum's Dr., he said that they (Amgen) will be making a decision anytime soon about whether to go into Phase III or not. I personally believe that they will. The results for Phase II were only very recently 'unblinded'. So we shall have to see when Phase III begins and see about getting into it. One thing that Amgen had told me when I had made some inquiries is that, Phase III will allow for more participants and with more relaxed criteria than Phase II assuming they go into Phase III. I believe it is one of the most promising potential treatments to date for PD. Dabu ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jacob M.
