Who is the Real Medical Expert?
“
”
When we say patient-centered medicine, what we usually mean is the contrast between a patient-centered approach versus an approach where the doctor and health system is in the center and the patient is orbiting around. But, I think implicit in most of our words, when we say this, is still the notion that expertise is flowing from the healthcare system to the patient.

ALS is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder with no effectivetreatment. In the present study, we found that daily doses oflithium, leading to plasma levels ranging from 0.4 to 0.8 mEq/liter,delay disease progression in human patients affected by ALS. Noneof the patients treated with lithium died during the 15 months ofthe follow-up, and disease progression was markedly attenuatedwhen compared with age-, disease duration-, and sex-matchedcontrol patients treated with riluzole for the same amount of time.In a parallel study on a genetic ALS animal model, the G93A mouse,we found a marked neuroprotection by lithium, which delayeddisease onset and duration and augmented the life span. Theseeffects were concomitant with activation of autophagy and anincrease in the number of the mitochondria in motor neurons andsuppressed reactive astrogliosis. Again, lithium reduced the slownecrosis characterized by mitochondrial vacuolization and in-creased the number of neurons counted in lamina VII that wereseverely affected in saline-treated G93A mice. After lithium ad-ministration in G93A mice, the number of these neurons washigher even when compared with saline-treated WT. All thesemechanisms may contribute to the effects of lithium, and theseresults offer a promising perspective for the treatment of humanpatients affected by ALS.
autophagy " clinical study " G93A mice " morphological analysis
ALS is a devastating neurodegenerative disorder with noeffective treatment that usually leads to death within 3–5
years from diagnosis (11 months for the bulbar form) (1). ALSoccurrence is primarily (90%) sporadic, while only 10% isfamilial (fALS). Approximately 20% of fALS are due to muta-tions of the gene coding for the enzyme copper–zinc superoxide-dysmutase (SOD1) (2). Transgenic mice over expressing thehuman mutant SOD1 develop a pathology that is very similar tothat seen in ALS patients [see supporting information (SI) Textfor a comparison]. Studies in animal models or in vitro led to theidentification of a variety of alterations in ALS motor neurons(MN) (1, 3, 4); however, other cells in the spinal cord besides MNare affected (5–8). For instance, a class of interneurons dieeither before or concomitantly with MN, as found in mice (9, 10)and postulated in humans for Renshaw-like cells (11). Again,glial cells participate in the deleterious interplay leading to MNdegeneration (6–8).
After the generation of the SOD1 ALS mouse models,attempts have been made to find effective treatments. However,so far, none of these trials has led to effective clinical outcomes.
Lithium is a compound used as a mood stabilizer, which isneuroprotective in a variety of disease models (12, 13), such asbrain ischemia (14) and kainate toxicity (15). The ability oflithium to promote autophagy, through the inhibition of theinositol-monophosphatase 1 (16–18), together with the protec-tive effects of autophagy in neurodegeneration (19–22),prompted us to test the neuroprotective effects of lithium in the
G93A ALS mouse model. Based on the promising data, weobtained in mice we quickly moved into a clinical trial, which isnow at the end of its second year.
ResultsEffects of Lithium on Disease Duration and Survival in G93A Mice.G93A male mice were treated daily with lithium carbonate (1mEq/kg, i.p.), starting at 75 days of age. Lithium treatmentprolonged the mean survival time from 110.8 ! 5.0 days (n " 20)to 148 ! 4.3 (n " 20, #36% of the life span of these mice; Fig.1a; P $ 0.001) and, most importantly, increased disease duration(from a mean of 9 days to %38 days, %300%; Fig. 1b; P $ 0.05)compared with the G93A mice treated with saline. Even whenlithium treatment was started at the onset of motor symptoms,the increase in disease duration was still comparable (data notshown). More specifically, lithium delayed the onset of paralysisand limb adduction (Fig. 1c) and significantly improved addi-tional tests we report in SI Fig. 6, such as rotarod, grip strength,and stride length.
Effects of Lithium Treatment on Motor Neuron Survival (Lamina IX ofLumbar and Cervical Spinal Cord and Brainstem Motor Nuclei). Theseeffects were accompanied by a reduced loss of lumbar MN at 90days of age (SI Fig. 7). However, at the end of disease (whichoccurred later following lithium), the number of alpha-MNwithin lumbar lamina IX of the G93A mice treated with lithiumwas comparable to that found in the saline-treated mice that haddied previously (SI Fig. 8). However, even at this stage, wedetected a disease modifying effect of lithium. This consisted of(i) preservation of the size of MN (SI Fig. 8 d and e); (ii)preservation of MN number and size in those areas [i.e., cervicalspinal cord (SI Fig. 9) or the nucleus ambiguous (SI Fig. 10)],which degenerate later compared with lumbar lamina IX (23,24); (iii) decreased astrocytosis (SI Fig. 11); and (iv) decreasedalpha-synuclein, ubiquitin, and SOD1 aggregation (see SI Fig. 6and Discussion in SI Text).

Patients with serious diseases may experiment with drugs that have not received regulatory approval. Online patient communities structured around quantitative outcome data have the potential to provide an observational environment to monitor such drug usage and its consequences. Here we describe an analysis of data reported on the website PatientsLikeMe by patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) who experimented with lithium carbonate treatment. To reduce potential bias owing to lack of randomization, we developed an algorithm to match 149 treated patients to multiple controls (447 total) based on the progression of their disease course. At 12 months after treatment, we found no effect of lithium on disease progression. Although observational studies using unblinded data are not a substitute for double-blind randomized control trials, this study reached the same conclusion as subsequent randomized trials, suggesting that data reported by patients over the internet may be useful for accelerating clinical discovery and evaluating the effectiveness of drugs already in use.
Online communities such as PatientsLikeMe that provide robust methods for patients to record and share data may have the potential to be used to conduct observational studies to assess the effectiveness of treatments. Although observational studies inherently cannot meet the gold standard of randomized clinical trials, they provide an oppor-tunity to collect possibly useful early-phase data by capturing patients’ self-experimentation. Empowering observational studies of patients’ self-experimentation carries some risks. Nevertheless, an increasing level of self-experimentation is already happening1. In this context, it is possible that patient-reported outcome data collected over the Internet could be integrated into academic and/or industry-led cycles of product development and evaluation2.
Approximately half of ALS patients take vitamins and unproven supplements3, whereas a smaller number go to extraordinary lengths to experiment with unproven treatments such as stem cell transplants in the developing world4. Recently, a consortium of 75 ALS physi-cians, scientists and experts (ALSUntangled.com) has been formed
to investigate the use of self-experimentation, complementary and alternative medicine, and off-label drug usage5. There are a number of benefits to systematically studying patients’ self-experimentation. First, it is important to respect patients’ autonomy and their deci-sions; helping them participate in systematic evaluations may increase scientific literacy. Second, there is an obligation to collect data on the safety of self-experimentation. Unproven treatments might have substantial safety concerns, and risks to patients may be increased without a way to report safety issues. Finally, there is the chance that something (i.e., off-label usage, a change in dosage, delivery route or combination with other treatments) might actually be shown to be efficacious, leading to further study.
ALS is a condition where both randomized trials and nonrand-omized clinical studies have yet to provide an effective therapy. It is a cruel and rapidly fatal neurodegenerative disease causing progres-sive weakness and muscle atrophy; median survival from symptom onset is 2–5 years6. In 2008, a study described the potential efficacy of lithium carbonate to slow the progression of ALS in a small, single-blind trial of 16 treated patients and 28 controls7. Despite skepticism from the medical community8–10, some ALS patients were enthusi-astic about the treatment11 and by their own initiative used an online spreadsheet to gather data. PatientsLikeMe built a lithium-specific data collection tool (see Supplementary Fig. 1) to capture informa-tion about the 348 ALS patients registered with the PatientsLikeMe website who began taking the drug off-label via their physician. To investigate whether the major effect of lithium carbonate reported in the original study was corroborated in these 348 patients, we under-took an observational analysis of self-reported outcomes. ALS disease progression is evaluated using the Revised ALS Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS-R12, henceforth referred to as FRS), which measures patient-reported functional impairment in domains such as speech, swallowing, walking, arm function and respiratory function. This metric is one of the standard outcome measures used in ALS clinical trials. In the absence of randomization, blinding or a placebo group, a technique was needed to overcome potential biases, such as the inherent self-selection of self-experimentation in an online sample, the placebo effect and attrition.
RESULTSParticipantsAs of the date that our data set was finalized (28 February 2010), there were 4,318 ALS patients on PatientsLikeMe, all of whom were invited
