>>Seems to me (on strictly intuitive grounds) that Rebif will be the big loser.

The driver to me seems to be time to antibody resistance. Rebif will* develop antibodies first, Betaseron next and then Avonex last. The development of antibodies correlates with efficacy but you give up longer term use by taking the stronger doses.

That suggests that IF you were going to add an interferon to T it would be A.

It also follows that R is the big loser.

* based on averages and stats - there will be outliers.
