Oral fingolimod (FTY720) for relapsing multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Fingolimod (FTY720) is a new oral immunomodulating agent under evaluation for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis. METHODS We randomly assigned 281 patients to receive oral fingolimod, at a dose of 1.25 mg or 5.0 mg, or a placebo once daily, and we followed these patients for 6 months with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and clinical evaluations (core study, months 0 to ...

Basic treatments such as beta-interferon provide only moderate efficacy, and although therapies for second-line treatm...
متن کاملWithdrawal of fingolimod treatment for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: report of six cases.
The objective of this article is to report our experience on fingolimod suspension in multiple sclerosis patients. We evaluated clinical and magnetic resonance (MR) outcomes in six patients after fingolimod discontinuation. Within three months from fingolimod suspension, five subjects returned to pre-treatment disease activity; one patient, however, exhibited a clear rebound of clinical and MR ...
متن کاملClinical efficacy, safety, and tolerability of fingolimod for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
Fingolimod is a selective immunosuppressive agent approved worldwide for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic and potentially disabling neurological condition. Randomized double-blind clinical trials have shown that fingolimod significantly reduces relapse rate and ameliorates a number of brain MRI measures, including cerebral atrophy, compared to both placebo...
