This Is MS Multiple Sclerosis Community: Knowledge & Support

Among therapeutic protein programs, Ichor is developing a dramatically improved treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The current standard of care for MS is treatment with recombinant interferon beta (rIFN-β) protein wherein patients must be injected multiple times a week and suffer side effects from high interferon levels following treatment. Ichor believes that its TDS / IFN-β therapy will provide several advantages to MS patients, such as once every three months dosing, a more constant level of the protein, thereby reducing side effects, and allow possible combination use with other MS drugs due to the reduced cost of TDS / DNA drug treatment compared to recombinant protein therapies.
