dbpprop:abstract
  • Edward Lewis Tobinick is an American physician currently in full-time private practice in Los Angeles, California and he is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Dr. Tobinick is co-author of the recent case report documenting rapid clinical improvement in a patient with Alzheimer's disease following perispinal administration of etanercept which has been received with considerable interest. Tobinick has been issued patents for methods of perispinal administration, of certain recombinant DNA-derived (biologic) therapeutics including the TNF receptor fusion protein etanercept, for the treatment of certain neurologic disorders with widespread unmet medical need, including Alzheimer's disease; pain due to cancer metastasis to bone; severe, intractable, intervertebral disc-related pain and radiculopathy (including sciatica); and myasthenia gravis. In addition, he originated the concept of the potential utility of etanercept, alone or in combination with oseltamivir for treatment of influenza (U.S. patent 6,419,934, filed September 5, 2000). For these novel treatment methods he has been issued multiple U.S. patents, including 6,015,557 (Tumor necrosis factor antagonists for the treatment of neurological disorders); 6,177,077; 6,419,934; and 6,982,089 . In general, his concepts represent emerging therapeutic strategies supported by small pilot studies and expert reviews. (see 2007 Citations, below). Tobinick earned his M.D. from the UC San Diego School of Medicine in 1977.
