Although this abstract doesn't provide the specific information about clinical trials or treatments that are discussed in the article, it clearly states what many have long suspected: 



Quote
Since disability is multifaceted, progressive patients are heterogeneous, and the drivers of disease progression are still unclear, it has been difficult to identify the most informative outcome measures for progressive trials. Historically, secondary outcome measures have focused on inflammatory measures, which contributed to the recent identification of immunomodulatory therapies benefiting younger patients with more inflammatory progressive MS. Meanwhile, agents capable of treating late-stage disease have remained elusive.
