It appears to operate in a similar way to Copaxone, but is supposedly more effective in EAE. I wont be holding my breath for this one just yet.

Have to agree with you on this one, Cure. More drugs to try and control the immune system of a MS patient when we don't even know the etiology of MS in the first place. But hey, the money to be made off MS with anything new that shows promise (marketing/sales strategy) can be quite rewarding.
