I hope someone out there can lend some advice.  My mother is a diabetic 
and has been diagnosed with diabetic polyneuropathy.  She has been 
offered a chance to enter a research study program which is testing a 
new drug called Zopolrestat.  I have several questions.
 Does anyone know anything about this drug?  From what we understand 
several hundred people have already undergone this research and are 
currently taking this drug.  Has anyone heard anything.  Is there 
anything she should be concerned with regarding this drug?  
 What should she been concerned with reagrding research programs.  One 
major concern is that the FDA is requiring that a sural nerve biopsy be 
performed.  Does anyone one the consequences of such a procedure? I hope 
someone has some info.  She is still undecided but has to make her 
decision soon.
 Thank you so much.  Please reply via e-mail....
