I feel really bad for BioMS. They have been working hard on this drug for over 10 years. They did everything in a very professional manner (unlike some big pharma companies) and kept the public informed along every step of the way. I can't imagine the cost of this project and then to end up with nothing!

Did it help anyone? Did Phase II studies show any good results? If it helped some, it could be worthwhile. Nothing I try, spproved or not, helps.

That's the weird part - it has helped some - among them a friend of mine. She was slowing worsening over many years and Dirucotide stopped her progression. She had many improvements such as bladder control, nerve pain and her walking. There is no doubt that she still has MS, but she regained so much.

I listened to a commentary from one of the co-founders of BioMS Medical (it's on their website) and he said that one baffling result of the study is that the North American placebo group did way better than the European placebo group.

I'm hoping that they can still find a way to make something out of all the years of research that went into a drug that still appears to help some. I was planning on it being my drug of choice should I ever decide to take one. Very disappointing news for many.
