LEXINGTON, Mass., Dec. 31 (UPI) -- A Lexington, Mass., drug company is conducting a clinical trial of a drug that may help those who stutter.
Indevus Pharmaceuticals Inc. has enrolled about half of the 120 patients they hope to include in the clinical trial. The drug company said it expects results by the middle of 2006 and if successful, a larger trial would follow, reported the Boston Globe Saturday.
Pagoclone, the experimental drug from Indevus, was a potential psychiatric drug when discovered in the 1990s. After it was licensed, drug giant Pfizer Inc. found it did not show clear improvement for panic and anxiety -- but two women who had used it stopped stuttering.
Indevus officials re-acquired the rights to pagoclone, took out a fresh patent and began the new clinical trial.
