This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Anyone knows what happened to RTL 1000? They completed the Phase 1 of the clinical trials more than 2 years ago, back in the fall of 2009 and since then there is no Phase 2 initiated. Would it take years to start Phase 2 after successfully completing Phase 1? 2 years ago Al Ferro, President and CEO of Artielle ImmunoTherapeutics, Inc. said that "We plan to move aggressively to bring these novel, first-in-class products to the market place."

The compound seemed really interesting as previous studies implied that RTL1000 demonstrate repair of the myelin sheath and it might cause less damage than do current drugs on the market.

A good site that monitors quite a few early stage drugs is listed below. They still show RTL1000:

It's been so long that either:

A) they got bum rushed from everyone due to the good report in 2009 so they're working in private for now, or
B) they were bought out by a large pharma corp. and told to keep quiet so more drugs could be sold.

I'm so discouraged from what it seems to be, but what can you do?
