BioMS receives positive review for Phase III multiple sclerosis trial

BioMS Medical has announced that the independent data safety monitoring board has reviewed data from the company's on-going Maestro-03 US pivotal Phase III clinical trial of MBP8298 for the treatment of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and recommended the continuation of the trial.

This was the second of several regularly scheduled reviews by the data safety monitoring board (DSMB) that will occur over the duration of the trial. The purpose of the DSMB is to provide objective, independent safety monitoring of the trial.

The Maestro-03 US pivotal Phase III clinical trial is a randomized, double-blind study enrolling approximately 510 patients at more than 60 clinical sites who will be administered either MBP8298 or placebo intravenously every six months for a period of two years.

To date, more than 65% of the total number of required patients has been enrolled in the company’s Maestro-03 clinical trial, with full enrollment anticipated for the end of the first half of 2008.
