The National Center of Neurology and Psychiatry has developed a drug that it says might provide a cure to multiple sclerosis.
The center announced Monday that it will start a three-month clinical trial from March on nine patients. If the drug's efficacy is confirmed, it will move on to a large-scale trial.
"We are hopeful as preliminary studies have produced very good results," said Takashi Yamamura, head of the immunology department responsible for the drug's development.
