Thank you for your inquiry and your interest in our research. We expect to initiate the spinal cord injury trial this quarter, but cannot predict at this stage how long
it will take to complete enrollment in the trial. We will be enrolling 12 patients, and each patient will be evaluated over a 12-month period following transplantation
in order to monitor and evaluate the safety and tolerability of the HuCNS-SC cells, the surgery and the immunosuppression, and to measure any recovery of neurological
function below the injury site. So, the trial will not be considered “complete” until 12 months after the 12th patient enrolled in the trial is dosed. However, we do
hope to be able to provide updates on the trial as it progresses.

As for our retinal program, we currently plan to file an IND to initiate a trial in age-related macular degeneration in 2012.

Regards,

Megan

i received an e-mail replyu from Shepers regarding the Geron Trial. I asked when results will be given to the public. The response stated that it will be years for this project to get the results. the response said they will investigating the safety of the therapy. This we all know. I was disappointed in the results part. Again, my belief of a real therapy that we all can benefit from is becoming a timeframe that is not defined and will not affect me or many of us.
