Statin Medication to be Tested Against MS


by John C. Martin
Article Date: 04-08-05

Armed with promising evidence of the potential of certain
anti-cholesterol medications known as statins in the treatment of
multiple sclerosis (MS), medical experts are launching a large clinical
trial to further test the safety and efficacy of these drugs.

Investigators at more than a dozen medical institutions are currently
enrolling patients for this Phase 2 trial, which is planned to include
152 people at high risk for developing the illness. The drug being
tested is atorvastatin (uh-TOR-vuh-stat-ihn), marketed as Lipitor by
Pfizer.

Promising Evidence Uncovered
The trial is based on previous studies, both in animals and people, that
have suggested that statins can alter immune responses and possibly
reduce inflammation. It's believed the cause of MS lies in an abnormal
immune response that attacks the body's own tissue as if it were
foreign.1
