'We are pleased to highlight data demonstrating that Mayzent helps slow disability progression and declining cognitive function,' said Norman Putzki, M.D., Global Head of Development Neuroscience. 'For people living with MS, it's essential to get ahead of disease progression and treat early so that they can maintain as much independence as possible in the future. We are dedicated to reimagining MS treatment and bringing hope to people with progressive diseases like MS.'
