The Effect of IFNB-1b on the Evolution of Enhancing Lesions in Secondary Progressive MS
Neurol 57:2185-2190, Brex,P.A.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In the first 6 months, fewer new enhancing lesions occurred in the IFNB-1b arm. This difference was greater for small (70% decrease) than for large (46% decrease) lesions. Hypointense T1 lesions were more likely to form from large (25%) th an from small (9%) enhancing lesions in both treatment arms. Patients taking IFNB-1b developed fewer hypointense T1 lesions; however, the proportion of enhancing lesions developing into hypointense T1 lesions was similar in both arms. IFNB-1b reduced th e number of new enhancing lesions, with a greater effect on small lesions. However, when a new enhancing lesion did become established, treatment with IFNB-1b did not alter its subsequent course.
