    Update on existing or new trial data.

    Also any research studies looking at long term disease data for example, MS patients (60+ years) who have had MS for over 35-40 years.

    Any Research data that shows what happens after or during their PPMS stage? Does their MS stabilize with no further activity (dormant)or does their MS become a black hole atrophy disease?

      I am 60 years old and have had MS since I was 17. I am now secondary progressive and there is no indication of the disease slowing down or going dormant. I continue to have more problems and issues on a daily basis now.

        I am a 64 year-old female with MS symptoms since I was 16. Am also at the secondary progressive stage. Progression never stops now: any new symptoms get added to the old ones.Frustrating that the new medication Ocrevus is appropriate for primary progressive cases only–not secondary progressive!

          Hi Andree, my doctor is an MS researcher and was involved in the Alemtuzumab (Lemtrada) trials. I insisted on trying Lemtrada I finished the second round of Lemtrada in 2016 with no success I talked to her about Ocrevus she said Orevus is for young people with MS active disease. I’m 64 and have had MS 30 years, she feels I’m in the geriatric phase of MS and Ocrevus would not be helpful.

          Ocrevus is not near as good for people with primary progressive MS as it is for RR-MS. I am 55 with PP-MS and have been helped by the Wahls Protocol. Trying pharmaceutical-grade CBD oil, nothing new yet. Exercise and diet have so far helped a great deal. A strict diet alone hasn’t been enough. It is very time-consuming to keep up with diet and exercise, but my fatigue and walking are so much better it’s worth it.

          There is a clinical trial still open studying MS diets: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/results?term=wahls&Search=Search. Results of a trial completed in 2017 are being written up now and we will know more soon about diet and MS.

          Lastly, sign up at https://www.progressivemsalliance.org/ for the latest in progressive MS research.

          Best to you all.

          I am 70 with PPMS. was told that Ocrevus didn’t make much difference in patients older than 65. I was told that PPMS slows down naturally. You could fool me? I have more and more pain all the time.

        I wish you the best and hope you are able to get Ocrevus in Canada soon, if it’s not already available. I was approved for it by my neurologist but I’m still having so much trouble getting someone to make the appointment for my infusion. I was diagnosed in 2003 and I’m 47 years old. I’m almost unable to walk and when I fall I become parylized and can’t move at all. I wish you nothing but the best in your fight.

      Dear Chris, I’m very interested in this topic too, since I am exactly the demographic you’re talking about. PPMS, 60 y.o., had CIS for 34 yrs, totally disabled since age 48 (2005), dx 2009. First real bAd, then On a “good plateau” for a few years, things getting harder past 2-3 yrs. I’m not a researcher, just 1 individual, but I see no dormancy at all! New dr. put me on copaxone this year, i don’t believe it will help with such a longterm patient as I am. Side effects worry me. NMSS suggests the “Ocre…” for PPMS. I worry about that a lot! Cancer? No thanks! Well, thanks for listening. OH PS, I am on medical mj which is great for spasticity and pain, mostly for anxiety and depression I think. That’s why I want to see more research on it, and to be in a clinical trial. Also the cost is so high!

        I am 65 year old PPMS female retired educator. I am very interested in this remyelation trial. I walk painfully slowly with a cane. I am becoming quite a recluse as this progresses. Do not want to burden anyone with my disability. Just diagnosed in 2016 when a spinal tap confirmed it. But, my neurologist feels I have been experiencing ever progressive symptoms for 20 years.

        This is a forum in Australia about.
        https://hotcopper.com.au/asx/cyp/
        this is the company.
        http://cynata.com
        Here is some info.
        But perhaps that is all about to change , and hence the release of SR latest report , just to get some interest building prior to first data on GvHd coming in a matter of months.

        And from a potential licensor of Cymerus viewpoint, and the multiple shots on goal strategy…..same thing, no one wants to put their hand up and pay a chunky upfront license fee for an as yet untested product. Especially a Big Pharma who has a big reputation at stake . But I’m sure many are watching and waiting for results. Of the 600 MSC clinical trials happening out there, how many of these would be prepared to run with Cymerus for future testing on different diseases if they knew that it has already had success in GvHd…??

        Or to put it another way, why would any of them continue trialling with cells derived from the almost obsolete method of bone marrow or adipose tissue donation? It defies logic you would continue down that path riddled with question marks and inefficiency once a superior method has proven safety and efficacy in human trials, and the manufacture of cells is proven consistent, pure, potent and unlimited.

        On this basis it would be very encouraging to see within the 3-6 months following GvHd trial outcome how many takers there out there ready to sign up for Cymerus license for testing on other diseases. Let’s hope it’s AT LEAST 2 or 3 which may prompt Fuji to pull the trigger on an outright purchase.

    I have just been diagnosed with PPMS last month. They feel I have had it for about 11 years when I first began looking for a medical reason why my left leg was so weak after walking 2km that I had to lift my knee to get my leg in the SUV! It finally showed up in the lumbar puncture I had last month. I would be interested in any trials for PPMS.

      Hi, I am a 72 year old Black female diagnosed 20 years ago with ppms. For first 12 years of ms, I took, Avonex,Navantron,and Copaxone without good results. Decided not to take any more of those but, to get personal trainer for exercising 2 days a week along with 2 days of physical therapy. Now 10 years later, today (6/7/17) I walked 100 feet without my walking cane or touching anybody or anything, just with my physical therapist at my side.
      Also, one week ago, I received my first 1/2 dose by infusion of Ocrevus and I have been taking Ampyra for about 2 years.

          Hi Diane ; I just received my first 2 infusions of Ocreavus and it may replace my infusions of Solumedrol. Ocreavus has greatly reduced pain and spasticity in legs and given increased strength to legs just like Solumedrol. If I could eliminate Solumedrol treatments it would save my body from the steroids. How did your treatments go ?

    I was diagnosed with MS in 1997, but had symptoms for years prior, no mention of what kind of MS. Since then, have been told it’s PPMS. Spasticiity and lack of balance are worst symptoms. Right bicep constantly clenched. Much pain from spasticity in arms, shoulders and legs. Pain killers not very effective. Responding to article on medical marijuana trial, which is legal in my state.

    I am 34 and was diagnosed with MS a year and 9 months ago. My neurologist is confused about what kind of MS I have, which leaves me frustrated. I am on tecfidera and hoped this new drug oceverus was the answer but I am completely disillusioned at this news. I have been researching it and found out that Roche, the drug company behind Oceverus have had FDA failure to get this drug approved for both Rhumatoid arthritis and Lupus treatments because of the threat of it causing cancer and infection as several people died of these conditions during clinical trials! But it’s been approved for MS????
    I am not willing to put that into my body!
    I am hoping the drug in 3rd stage clinical trial that allows remilation has more promising results.

    • Steve says:

      Wow Angela. If your Neuro can`t determine what type of MS you have, they must not be an MS specialist Nero. Ocreavus is for PPMS and RRMS, so if you don`t know what type of MS you have, you probably would not be approved to get it. Not sure which clinical trials your`re talking about for Ocrevus, since I have not seen any results where Ocreavus caused deaths.

    I am 48 and was diagnosed in 2000. I have extreme spasticity in my right hand and it’s slowly creeping up my arm. I have RRMS. I just want something to loosen up the right hand and arm. Willing to do any trial that will benefit me. I believe that the spasms are mostly caused by excessive stress. I’m trying to elevate the stress but would also like something to help this along as well.

    I first diagnosed myself, ( not believed by my own doctor) as there were no confirmatory tests at that time), being a physician, when I was 28 and am now 70!!
    Hope springs eternal and my RMMS has been relatively kind to me with circa only three flare ups each year which have sesponded to oral/I.v. steroids +/- admission to hospital. I am always hopeful that a new ‘wonder drug’ will become available & have been involved in several trials both on the in & the outside which has taught me that one needs to be a very patient patient.

    I was a career soldier for 20 years before MS ripped it away. It eventually ended my marriage because she couldn’t cope. I have RRMS with arthritis as well.
