Review of oral MS treatments in clinical trials
Published story by hollie http://msnews.acceleratedcure.org/... This article [76] (free access, at least for now) summarizes the current status of five oral drugs currently in clinical trial for MS: teriflunomide, laquinomod, fingolimod, BG00012, and cladribine. Results of completed trials are briefly described, and modes of action for each drug are discussed.
