Hi gmi,
I know, it was disappointing to read this. This was ready to come out soon. A nurse friend of mine, who lives in Canada, told me about this drug when it first came out. Her MS Doctor discovered it years ago and sold it.

It is a chain of 17 Amino acids, unlike only 4 in Copaxone. It was to be a 5 minute infusion, once every 6 months. It sounded to good to be true. I hope they learn what went wrong and go on from there. (sigh)

It was to be Fast-Tracked by the FDA.
