In reply to Good news: Dov's ocinaplon in phase III, posted by pseudonym on November 24, 2004, at 12:51:49
> Finally, after a year of hand-wringing, Dov's ocinaplon (a non-sedative, non-addictive anxiolytic) will enter the phase III trial. This qualifies as good news to GAD and possible Social Anxiety sufferers. Ocinaplon is not a "me-too" compound either, its mechanism of action is unique in that it targets the anxiolytic subset of GABA-A receptors. I'm happy because ocinaplon is another possibility to rid myself of this non-sensical anxiety.
Watch out for the elevated liver enzyme levels associated with this drug, if it ever makes it to market.
My best guess is that it will be no miracle drug.
Just another Cybalta that everyone here waited for so long, only to find out that it isnt all that great a drug :(
