    ATA188 Benefits in SPMS, PPMS Hint at Remyelination

    #ECTRIMS2021 – ATA188 Benefits in SPMS, PPMS Hint at Remyelination

    An investigational immunotherapy, ATA188 showed it could reverse disability and improve exercise capacity in people with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), Atara Biotherapeutics, its developer, reported in an update on a Phase 1 trial and its long-term extension study.

    EMBOLD trial findings based on MRI brain imaging data measuring the magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) also suggest gains in these ATA188-treated patients may be tied to remyelination, or the regrowth of the myelin sheath, the fatty material surrounding nerve fibers that is damaged in MS.

    Trial results extending out to 39 months, including MTR data, will be presented as an e-poster at the 37th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) taking place virtually Oct. 13–15, Atara reported in a press release,

        Interesting, KoKo, and thanks for posting! It sounds like in the initial trial there was a 50% improvement of ongoing participants. I look forward to the 2nd phase outcome where there will be more people involved!

          Thanks KoKo for your kindness.
          I have been as good as I can be, living and trying to work a job with progressive MS. My family is ok except my grandson who at 3 years old was diagnosed with type one diabetes , which is also maybe linked to auto immune and so I’m thinking I could somehow be responsible for that.
          Something went wrong with my logins here so every time I come on I’m not logged in and it doesn’t show that I’m here but I check everyday. And I like seeing things that offer some hope that we might reverse this Monster up a little. Thanks KoKo

            I know that's not easy to do.

            Good thoughts and prayers for your grandson. He's so young.
