Dr. Timothy Volmer Tells All

---

Timothy Vollmer, M.D. is an associate professor of neurology, and the director of the Yale Neuroimmunology Program. He's also the director of the NARCOMS registry.

Dr. Vollmer spoke in depth of his current involvement in the advances made in the treatment of MS. He displayed an uncommon ability to articulate an evolving biotechnology focused on MS. As he spoke, one could observe the analytical manner in which a solution is evolving through his all-telling account of failures as well as successes.

In recent years the Yale Neuroimmunology Program
has been sponsored by Teva to conduct clinical trials
of their product, Copaxone. Dr. Vollmer explained why he
thought Copaxone was the next generation MS treatment.

Thank you for your interest in the NARCOMS Registry. NARCOMS is a national multi-

options and health care services for individuals with multiple sclerosis. Your participation
will help make our efforts successful.

Be assured that the NARCOMS MS Patient Registry:

• is always voluntary

• eligible so that they can decide if they wish to participate
• is an important tool to accelerate research leading to more effective treatments for MS
  
• is a confidential questionnaire maintained in a secure environment

ThePatient Registry is NOT:

• a commitment to participate in any particular research study
• an expense to you - it is completely free to enrol

Please return your completed registry in the enclosed stamped and self-addressed envelope. If
