"It is good to be able to finally offer our patients with primary progressive MS the possibility of being enrolled in a clinical trial. For once I don't feel like a therapeutic nihilist when it comes to PPMS."

CoI: Dr Klaus Schmierer is the PI at our site, I have received personal compensation for sitting on a steering committee for the phase 4 development of Fingolimod and we have received grant support for work on our animal model from Novartis who market Fingolimod.
