I am just wondering what the MRI lesion load difference between placebo and betaferon is in the two fingolimod studies. If my memory serves me right, that was where they had stronger results. In other words, back when Betaferon meds were going through their studies, researchers were targeting MRI le...

Oops, per your last question, I am not able to see the third study (I don't have a subscription). But, I thought that Betaferon was only very marginally helpful. I looked into it some years ago, so I don't remember all the details. However, the lack of effectiveness is one of the main reasons my wif...

I am not familiar with either protocol (though, I probably should be since my wife was in the fingolimod study). However, my only point is that studies are designed so that apple to apple comparison is made between the groups within the study. Differences between the studies can exist for a variety ...

DM, nobody can tell you to do this or not to do it. However, (1) you'll get someone to monitor your disease (being a post middle age at diagnosis makes you a high risk for very fast disease progression. It is especially true if you are a male.), (2) you'll have a good chance of receiving an oral dru...

Agreed, just wanted to point out for the less statistically minded, the concept of looking for effectiveness of Campath alone cannot be solved for without extra assumptions. On Bob's original question about effectiveness of the combination, I don't believe there is any disagreement. It does look to ...

CureOrBust, I definitely wasn't trying to say anything about your neuro. I am sorry if it did sound that way. I think, given that they are in Australia, it is not very likely that they would know about a compound that may look promissing but is very tied to proximity to the processing lab. All I was...
