Teva Neuroscience, Inc. Release: COPAXONE(R) Showed Sustained Benefit On Slowing Brain Tissue Damage in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Data presented last week at the 22nd Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) in Madrid, Spain, showed that COPAXONE® (glatiramer acetate injection) may slow the neurodegenerative tissue damage that is a key aspect of multiple sclerosis (MS) disease pathology. Results of the longest, prospective study of annual brain proton MRS imaging in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients suggested a beneficial effect of COPAXONE® treatment on cerebral axonal injury and recovery.
