I saw this list on another MS board forum. I am sorry if this is a repeat. It was first available in September, therefore, they are probably new drugs to be added. The credit for putting this list together should go to Jay.

It's actually a list from ThisISMS originally. It's located in the "Drug Pipeline" forum. The title of the thread is "Summary of the pipeline". It was something that I started in early August and that a bunch of other people here have contributed to over the last few months. I'm glad to see it has made its way to other MS boards. That's the idea, get the information out there for all to see.
