Default FTY720/Fingolimod
I just hate to post this, but here it is.

FTY729 / Fingolimod problems.

It sounds as if there were two or more people who contracted an infection, which hasn't been identified yet, and one person died. The trials have NOT been stopped, but all eyes are upon Novartis awaiting further news as to exactly what has happened.

http://news.google.com/news?q=FTY720...num=4&ct=title

I am including this google link because the top entry deals with all the updates on what has happened so far.

If I hear anything further I will post links.

This just SUCKS.
