Fumaric acid salts have been in use against severe psoriasis for a long time. About ten years ago, researchers speculated that they may also have a favorable effect on multiple sclerosis (MS) as a result of their TH2 polarizing mechanisms. A study with 1,200 MS patients and the fumaric acid salt BG12 has just been completed. Evaluation is expected for summer 2011.
