Abstract

For treating active forms of secondarily-progressing multiple sclerosis a preliminary clinical trial was performed by two courses: antibody-to-cytokine course (γINT, αINT and TNFα) and cyclosporin А-course (sandimmun). Data of preliminary test of antibodies to cytokines evidence to possibility of performing further clinical trials "antibodies to γINT and to TNFα (to a lesser degree)" during active forms of progressive MS. Were obtained the results, evidencing to a possible use of sandimmun in constantly progressive forms of secondarily progressing disease, when favourable clinical effect coincided with supression of cytokine IL-2 production and lowering of activeness of immunocytes.
