Isn't one of those newer ones in clinical trials also targeting SPMS? I can't find any info on it right now though.

I believe the trials you are thinking about are those being conducted by BioMs, and drug company in Edmonton, Canada. They have been working on a drug exclusively for SPMS for the past 6 or 7 years and have just begun the Phase III trials at numerous centers around the world. Early indications have shown it has some beneficial effect but until the Phase III trials are completed and the data analyzed, we won't know if this drug will really help SPMS patients.
