Has anyone with MS or other neurologic diseases noted improvement while on herceptin?

After a lecture by Dr. Ronald Levy, who invented Ritixumab the monoclonal antibody against lymphoma that preceeded herceptin, I heard him talk about
an anecdotal report that herceptin improved a patient's neurological disease, he was not certain whether it was MS or not.

There have been several news reports this spring of Genentech reporting negative results of one or several of their monoclonal antibodies against MS, none of which were herceptin.

PS I understand that it is difficult to connect improvement in MS with drug treatment in some cases as it can be a disease which gets better and worse on its own, making it difficult to correlate improvement with any particular treatment

Thanks in advance to all who respond!
