No I haven't Kelly, but I'm always open to learning about new treatments.

Thank you for the link.

Kelly, no I have not heard of this study or drug. Sounds very interesting, and from what i think I read, its nearing its final phase in testing. Thanks for sharing this, like Anne said I am also always up for reading about a new treatment

It is MBP8298, this is probably the article referenced: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/118192.php The Maestro-02, Phase II/III study in Europe and Canada seems to have been successful.

I've heard of it. It's a synthetic make of 17 pepitdes mimicking mylein make-up. I follow the phase III trials with interest
