Tysabri speculation - Multiple Sclerosis Message Board

For those interested in the MS treatment Tysabri, we all know it is on fast track approval with the FDA. What I've been seeing by following the producers stock is that Biogen Idec is hiring like mad.

Many of the job postings available specifically talk about "Your job will be to market and sell the MS treatment Tysabri."

Obviously BIIB thinks their MS drug is coming back, and probably soon!

Has anyone talked to their neuro about this? my neuro said that she if/when it does get approved that she doesn't think it is a good idea for me - she is still concerned about the PML - even as a stand-alone therapy. . anyone else had any feedback?

Met with my Neuro today, he is excited about the return of Tysabri. His only comments are that Tysabri will be a stand alone drug, and would not be prescribed until it appeared the standard CRAB drugs were not working for the individual patient.

My neuro won't put me on it either untill further testing is done. She said it could be 2- 5 years before she had enough proof that it was safe before she gave it to any of her patients.
