I imagine there isn't any new data so this is more geared toward getting SNY to add a CVR provision for the MS indication. If zipjet listens in I would be especially curious to know if your opinion has changed at all on considering this as a treatment option for your wife if need be [hopefully she continues to do well on current therapies!]. If my recollection is accurate the remission duration was quite impressive but comes with a significant safety consideration.
