Relapsing-remitting disease is often responsive to immune suppressive or modulating therapies, while immune based therapies are generally ineffective in patients with a progressive clinical course. Primary Outcome Measures: EDSS [ Time Frame: Participants with progressive disease will continue to be followed for the 5 year duration at least 6 months apart. ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ] To assess the efficacy of autologous PBSCT versus FDA approved standard of care ( i.e. interferon, copaxone, or mitoxantrone) for inflammatory multiple sclerosis failing interferon therapy. 2.1 Primary Endpoint: 2.2 Secondary Endpoints:
