摘要
Quinacrine has been reported as an antiprion agent and proposed as an immediately applicable treatment for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). The authors report the results of an open compassionate procedure to which 32 CJD patients had access. In some genotypic subgroups, a slight but nonsignificant increase in survival was observed, likely due to biased inclusion of long-term surviving patients. There was no pathologic evidence of a beneficial effect of quinacrine treatment.
