Naked Scientist podcast on Radio 5 Cambridgeshire

Hi guys, did anyone hear the podcast / radio programme on MS broadcast on Radio 5 Cambridgeshire last week? They had a guy talking about being on a trial of a drug that resets your immune system in the hope that it comes back minus the MS aspect (he said he hasn't had any symptoms since). Quite heavy, there's a 5 day hospital stay & a rash, but I can't remember what the drug was called. It was developed for Repeating Remitting MS and looks useful to the recently diagnosed, I was diagnosed a couple of years ago and wanted to ask my doctor if I could be considered for it but don't know what it is called - an ideas? thank you

I think you may find that this was Lemtrada (formerly alemtuzumab or CAMPATH). A bit more detail here :- http://www.mssociety.org.uk/ms-research/new-and-potential-treatments/lemtrada-alemtuzumab-campath
