Amgen dump brodalumab after some patients had suicidal thoughts.

[ItchyScratchy]

Welcome ItchyScratchy. How long did the trial go for before it was axed? How long did the brodalumab take to work for both p and psa? Also, when you say clear and no psa, does that mean no psoriasis and no pain? My apologies for the interrogation, but as the drug is new it is good to have a comparison with other drugs. I have reservations about how truthfully pharmaceutical companies portray the efficacy of their wares, so it would be nice to hear it from the horse's mouth.

Cheers,

Bill

Hi bill. I see you've tried reaching out to itchy scratchy.  If you did this on my behalf then I can't begin to thank you enough.     Nor can I stress enough the importance that I get in contact with this individual. I assure you and anyone that I have only the best of intentions. But, Bill, to answer your questions from my own experience this drug brought me to 99 percent clearance in under 12 weeks and sustained it for two years at which point it was canceled.  you're right to question the data, but in the case of this particular drug - It's all that and a bag of chips.

I'm back.  What's so important?  Did not get b at b and b...but do love alliteration. Also confirm clearing 100% in under 12 weeks. And the psa symptoms abated more quickly. It was all that...never got a bag of chips though. ?
I was about halfway through the 5 year trial when it was pulled.
