Abstract
The current Multiple Sclerosis (MS) therapeutic landscape is rapidly growing. Glatiramer acetate (GA) remains unique given its non-immunosuppressive mechanism of action as well as its superior long-term safety and sustained efficacy data. In this review, we discuss proposed mechanisms of action of GA. Then we review efficacy data for reduction of relapses and slowing disability as well as long term safety data. Finally we discuss possible future directions of this unique polymer in the treatment of MS.Entities:
