Conclusion: Given the difference in baseline risk and severity levels across studies, ARR is the appropriate way to compare DMDs in the absence of head-to-head clinical trials. Results based on ARR showed that IFNB-1a sc has comparable therapeutic effect on efficacy measures when compared to natalizumab.
I'm sure when the insurance companies' docs read this kind of report, they aren't exactly going to be eager in recommending that Tysabri be covered without a lot of red tape.
