Disease-modifying therapies in relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis
CLINICAL QUESTION What is the best current disease-modifying therapy for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis? RESULTS The evidence shows that the most effective disease-modifying therapy for delaying short- to medium-term disability progression, prevention of relapses, reducing the area and activity of lesions on magnetic resonance imaging, with the least side effects, is high-dose, high-f...
متن کاملOutcome Measures in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: Capturing Disability and Disease Progression in Clinical Trials
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease that manifests as acute relapses and progressive disability. As a primary endpoint for clinical trials in MS, disability is difficult to both characterize and measure. Furthermore, the recovery from relapses and the rate of disability vary considerably among patients. Given these challenges, investigators have devel...
متن کاملOral Disease-Modifying Therapies for Multiple Sclerosis
Classical multiple sclerosis (MS) treatments using first-line injectable drugs, although widely applied, remain a major concern in terms of therapeutic adherence and efficacy. New oral drugs recently approved for MS treatment represent significant advances in therapy. The oral route of administration clearly promotes patient satisfaction and increases therapeutic compliance. However, these drug...
متن کاملOutcome Measures in Clinical Trials for Multiple Sclerosis
Due to the heterogeneous nature of the disease, it is a challenge to capture disease activity of multiple sclerosis (MS) in a reliable and valid way. Therefore, it can be difficult to assess the true efficacy of interventions in clinical trials. In phase III trials in MS, the traditionally used primary clinical outcome measures are the Expanded Disability Status Scale and the relapse rate. Seco...
متن کاملMultiple sclerosis and disease-modifying therapies.
Mia T. Minen, MD Steven Karceski, MD Over the past 18 years, treatments for multiple sclerosis (MS) called disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) have been developed. These therapies are designed to decrease the number of MS attacks, and to slow the progression of the disease. They have become a standard part of the current treatment for MS. There are different classes of the currently available DM...
