Unfortunately, there are no other drugs currently being trialed for PPMS. For PPMSers, Rituxan was our great hope. None of the already approved drugs has proven effective in treating primary progressive, so this really leaves us up the proverbial creek.

Our best hope now is that stem cell research picks up steam, and that methods are devised to help repair our damaged nervous systems. It does not look like we are going to get help on the pharmaceutical front...

Rituxan's failure is really a devastating blow...
