Alex Smith on Golic & Golic

Written By Holly Plante

Former NFL quarterback and Oxeia board member Alex Smith joined Golic & Golic on FanDuel Sports Network to discuss the Super Bowl, quarterback play, and his work with Oxeia Biopharmaceuticals to advance concussion treatment.

Alex explained why progress has stalled: "There are no tests for a concussion. There are no approved treatments for a concussion. The recommendations from a doctor are the same they were 20, 40, 50, 100 years ago. It's rest up, eat well. There's nothing that's approved at this point."

After 16 years in the NFL experiencing persistent concussion symptoms firsthand, Alex joined Oxeia's board. OXE103 demonstrated an 85% responder rate versus 33% for standard care in Phase 2a trials. The next step is Phase 2b trials toward FDA approval.
