"The boys given suramin all improved, with some parents reporting their “locked in” children began to communicate, the trial’s author Robert K. Naviaux, of California University’s Mitochondrial and Metabolic Disease Centre, said."

“After the single dose, it was ­almost like a roadblock had been ­released,” Professor Naviaux said."

"One parent of an 11-year-old boy in the trial likened the change in his son to the movie Awakenings: “Just one dose of suramin gave us a glimpse of that child who was locked in by his disease."
