Canbex Leaves London

Official Title: A Phase II Proof of Concept (PoC), Double-Blind, Randomised, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Pharmacokinetics of VSN16R for the Treatment of Spasticity in Subjects With Multiple Sclerosis


As you can see from clinical trials. gov (NCT02542787). It is now possible to participate in the "Canbex" Trial if you are based outside of London as there are new sites in Liverpool and now in Sheffield. 

Even if you live outside these regions and can travel to them you still may be able to participate, as I understand someone has travelled about 200miles to London

Choosing to participate in a study is an important personal decision. Talk with your doctor and family members or friends about deciding to join a study. To learn more about this study, you or your doctor may contact the study research staff using the Contacts provided below.
