Intravenous synthetic peptide MBP8298 delayed disease progression in an HLA Class II-defined cohort of patients with progressive multiple sclerosis: results of a 24-month double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial and 5 years of follow-up treatment.
|
| description: |
In a placebo-controlled double-blinded Phase II clinical trial, the epitope did not reduce disease progression in 32 patients with progressive multiple sclerosis. However, in a subpopulation of patients, those with possessing DR2 and/or DR4 alleles (n=20), disease progression was significantly reduced by treatment with the epitope. In these patients, anti-MBP autoantibodies was reduced.
