I saw my neurologist a few weeks ago at the medical school here. He said there is an MS myelin repair drug in phase 1 studies. Unlike the doctor in this article looking for existing meds that work, this study involves a new compound. My clinic is about to join the phase 1 trial. He suggested I could join if interested but there is no way I would join a phase 1 trial! Yikes...they don't know in phase 1 if the compound even works or what dosage to give it at.
Hopefully in a few years there will be at least something for us!
