BG-12 Phase III Results presented at ECTRIMS

Phase III results for another emerging oral medication for MS were presented at ECTRIMS this weekend. The DEFINE trial evaluated the use of dimethyl fumarate (also known as BG-12) versus placebo in patients with MS. The study met the primary endpoint of a reduction in relapse rate as well as multiple MRI endpoints. The safety profile of this medication seems to be very good. Below is a link to an article with a nice summary of the results.
