Interesting to read about this other than the information was released by an investors group as opposed to a medical journal.

There is really nothing out there to help SPMS patients and the initial Phase 1 results do seem encouraging. Note that this drug appears to reduce the symptoms of MS as opposed to doing anything for the disease...at least to what is known at this point. Of course long term safety is not known but patients who are declining with SPMS may not be too concerned about that in their situation.
