Fig. 1 — On-study brain atrophy in glatiramer acetate vs. untreated patients. Mean (±standard error of the mean) of brain parenchymal fraction (BPF) at baseline and 2-year follow-up. A lower score indicates advancing disease. Both glatiramer acetate (GA) and no disease modifying therapy (noDMT) cohorts showed significant decreases in BPF (i.e. no brain atrophy) from baseline to follow-up. The p values in the figure are from Wilcoxon signed rank tests for the within group change over time. Furthermore, when comparing the change in zBPF between the two groups, no difference was found (Wilcoxon rank sum test, p = 0.59)
