Oh damn. They are being really vague about the results though. Hopefully there's some better news about the secondary measures. Not that anything other than disease progression was really important in this trial.

marc,
You had a lot of hope with Rituxin and I am sorry it looks like it will not be a good candidate for PPMS.
Has your neuro talked about anything else that may be in the pipeline that is not on dignan's list in the "Drug Pipeline" forum?
Until we know the science behind the cause of MS, there will continue to be treatment disappointments, in my opinion.

Where can we find the actual study results?

I'm really upset. Rituximab was the drug I had the most hope for. I'm going to stay calm until I actually read for myself the results. Where can we find them?
