It is my understanding from the professional services staff @Amgen that they are in the early stages of testing the safety of rhe drug on a sample population in Europe (on people without P D) This will take about 6 months. To keep in touch with the progress use their web site Amgen.Com...especially check the section on pipelines ! Do you know if the National Parkinson Foundation is aware of or involved in this program ??? The Amgen people seem to think that the P D lobby is very large and influential ! Keep in touch...
