Clinical trial update: Lighthouse II study discontinued

Following the analysis of interim results of the Lighthouse II Phase 3 clinical trial, the trial has been terminated. MND Australia understands that this information is disappointing and distressing for the MND community in Australia. 

This clinical trial was designed to include an interim analysis while the trial was still underway to assess whether the drug, Triumeq, was showing any benefit. 

Unfortunately, this interim analysis found that there was no difference in survival measures between those taking the active ingredient and those who were taking the placebo and this indicates that Triumeq is not believed to be beneficial for people with MND. Following these results, the decision was made to stop the trial.

A full data analysis will be undertaken following this decision.
