Biogen Seeks Test for Brain Disease Linked to MS Drug (Update1)

Thought this paragraph was interesting

“Biogen is looking at other biological signs of PML risk that may be incorporated to improve the test, Sandrock said. In those who test positive, Biogen is testing for markers to further determine which patients are at high risk, Sandrock said. Those markers may include certain genes that increase the risk of a brain infection, or viral mutation that allows JC virus to live in brain tissue.”
Hey K!
I'm looking for an article about Tysabri being tested in SPMS that came out within the last two weeks. I know I had it but my filing system is a bit scattered. Is there any chance you have it at hand?
TIA!

Don't have a link to a new story, but Biogen/Elan have talked about extending the Tysabri indication to include secondary progressive MS in their investor presentations. (Look under Biogen filings with the SEC)

May also want to check AAN 2010 website where you can look at scientific abstracts where doctors report on results they have observed in small numbers of secondary progressive patients who have received Tysabri
