NEW YORK — February 15, 2010 — Add-on daclizumab treatment might reduce multiple sclerosis disease activity more than standard interferon beta treatment alone, according to a study published online first and appearing in the April edition of The Lancet Neurology.

Daclizumab has reduced multiple sclerosis disease activity in previous non-randomised studies. In the current study, John W. Rose, MD, Neurovirology Research Laboratory, VA Medical Center, Salt Lake City, Utah and colleagues aimed to assess whether daclizumab reduces disease activity in patients with active relapsing multiple sclerosis who are receiving standard interferon beta treatment.
