Professor Barkhof, said “the ATL1102 ‘Black Holes’ data is most compelling which is reflected in its selection for late-breaker poster presentation”.
Importantly, the positive effect of ATL1102 suggests that along with its action in reducing the number of new inflammatory brain lesions, ATL1102 may also be neuroprotective by reducing damage to axons in the lesions and thereby slow the MS disease progression.
