Default Phase 3 trial for Secondary Progressive MS
Apparently there is a new drug that is a derivative of Gilenya. They are starting phase 3 trials for up to 5 years to treat SPMS. Just thought I'd post in case anyone is interested.

Thank you for this - I think this is something that a lot of people like me struggle with; knowing that once the announcement is made that we have made the leap from RRMS to SPMS, it's a wilderness and there is nothing out there to give us hope. I know I am dreading it and fearful of it happening.

This is super comforting

Yes, it's nice to know they are at least exploring this area and haven't totally forgotten about SPMS. They also need to get going on PPMS!

Yes, there's money to be made off of us SPMSers too!
Do I sound cynical?. I think I should have stayed in bed today.
