We have been married for 15 years. There are a lot of "new" fixes so to speak in the MS drug pipelines out there. The latest greatest one from Biogen called Tecfidera has been given free to my wife for a year now. This is a capsule taken twice daily. The med cost $6000 a month / $72,000 a year. One would think she hit the MS med Jackpot.
But certain MS med's aren't for everyone. it's statistically impossible that Every recipient of Tecfidra is going to respond and benefit from it. Two years ago her Neurologist, the same one she has had for 17 years, determined her MS has become stable. No increase in symptoms yet no decline in symptoms and no new lesions on the brain. just stable. We were joyous with the news.
But now after taking Tecfidera for 12 months it's like it stirred up a hornets nest. She is losing whatever mobility she had, speech patterns are becoming slurred, more memory lose and her hand writing and printing is going downhill fast. I made the decision to discontinue it in as much as it's pulling her down faster.
Multicell Technologies doesn't have a MS pipeline. Not that I would trust it even if they did. All they seem to say they have is a drug candidate for MS fatigue. Who cares, there is "plenty" of stuff out there to help with one's fatigue people don't care whether or not MCT-125 makes it to phase III. I don't.
MCET has dragged their feet for so long on their pipeline that I couldn't care less if they ever make it into the Bio-tech world.
