From the article, "70 percent saw the progression of their disease halted or reversed"
70% change of no further progression or even reversal? Those are good odds.
- jacalata 10y agoThat was patients in the study, the comment was about all patients with MS.
- Hondor 10y agoI was just stating the outcome in a more negative way. Most had no reversal but also most didn't get worse either. Because half of that 70% were in the "halted" category which might not be much use if you're already at a late stage of the disease and you were only eligible for this treatment because you were almost dead.
