Patent for use of ALS drug in MS
Submitted by art on Thu, 2008-10-02 07:14.
This patent suggests the use of riluzole, an ALS drug, for MS would be useful. In an attempt to find out who the inventor is, I found an MS researcher of the same name who looked at riluzole back in 2005.
It isn't clear if this is something someone is actively pursuing, or just one of those "my institute wants me to file some patents" things.
