“My third poster at the AAN today. I want to cry when I look at the results of the CLARITY extension study and the ORACLE (cladribine in CIS) study. Cladribine is a very effective DMT, it is easy to use, has a favourable short-term safety profile and is an induction therapy. It is an alemtuzumab-like drug without the post-treatment autoimmune safety issues. Why didn’t Merck-Serono wait for these results before making a decision to pull the plug on the programme? MSers are being denied a very effective therapy. I wonder if this is a drug that can be take through the Big Pharma Alternative (BPA) route or if some other Pharma company could buy the drug from Merck-Serono and take it forward? Help!”
CoI: multiple
I wrote to my Member of Parliament about the BPAand got a response in a day, maybe this is a way to lobby. They have forwarded this to one of the ministers lets see what happens.Maybe we should start a e petition with 100,000 signatures they have to debate it.
