Hmmm....24 RR patients and 8 SP...not exactly a lot of patients for any trial. What we weren't told was how long any of these patients were on the drug. The criteria was at least 12 consecutive infusions of Tysabri but were these patients on the drug for one year, two or three? Almost results in more questions as opposed to answers.
