According to todays Barts & London blog the hospital is a site for the ASCEND study, which might interest SPMSers.

Hiya Whammel Im on the trial at the QE in Birmigham, had my 6 infusion on Tuesday and a load of tests (Walking,strength,memory etc). Its a double blind trial so not sure if i am having Tysabri or Placebo but had a pretty bad skin reaction on my second infusion so i think i may be having the real thing. John ---

Always good to have reliable information from a participant. ---

Hi, I’m on trial at Royal London, 3 infusions. If you fulfill the criteria go for it. Even survived a lumbar puncture.
