yeah...so there was another case of PML reported on Biogen's gloom and doom spot today.

US patient, 24 doses.

No other information is available at this time, but as you know, when more info is available we'll post it here. Keep your eyes open on other MS boards and if you find anything, post it.

The good news?...we are still 30+ cases behind that "other drug" that is used off label to treat MS that has PML associated with it, you know, the one that Biogen also sells along with Genentech, the one that doesn't have any monitoring program so they don't report every freakin' case?

Biogen has also guided that they will continue posting PML cases for Tysabri until July 24, 2009, the third anniversary of the relaunch of Tysabri, when it expects the risk/benefit profile of Tysabri to be clearer.
