Schering Receives Canadian Approval for Betaferon as Treatment for Early Stage Multiple Sclerosis
Betaferon® (interferon beta-1b), a drug against multiple sclerosis (MS) developed by Schering, AG (SCH), has been granted marketing authorization by Canadian regulators for an extension of its indication to include the treatment of patients with a first clinical event suggestive of MS. The drug is marketed as Betaseron® in Canada by Schering's affiliate Berlex Canada Inc.
With this approval, Betaferon becomes the highest-dose highest-frequency therapy approved for the treatment of the earliest stages of MS in Canada. The approval provides an important treatment option for patients to reduce the risk of developing clinically definite MS (CDMS), and the potential to delay the progression of the disease.

A similar supplemental biologics license application (sBLA) has also been applied to the US FDA in February, and is awaiting approval.
