Quality of life in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients receiving CinnoVex compared with Avonex

Cytokine patterns after therapy with Avonex®, Rebif®, Betaferon® and CinnoVex™ in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in Iranian patients.

AIM Several lines of evidence exist which suggest that changes in the expression of circulating cytokines are linked to the development or reoccurrence of multiple sclerosis (MS). This study aimed to evaluate the serum levels of relevant cytokines after therapy with IFN-β formulations in MS patients. MATERIALS & METHODS In this study, blood samples were collected from 70 MS patients undergoin...

Comparing the Quality of Life in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis Consuming Fingolimod and CinnoVex

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic demyelinating, inflammatory, and degenerative disease of the central nervous system. MS gradually limits and deteriorates the patients’ quality of life. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the quality of life in patients with MS consuming Fingolimod and CinnoVex. Materials & Methods: In an analytical cross-sectional study, 106 ...

Cost Effectiveness Analysis of Avonex and CinnoVex in Relapsing Remitting MS

INTRODUCTION Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and degenerative neurological disease characterized by loss of myelin sheath of some neurons in brain and spinal cord. It is associated with high economic burden due to premature deaths and high occurrence of disabilities. The aim of the current study was to determine cost effectiveness of two major products of interferon 1a in patients with relapsin...

Safety and Efficacy of Fingolimod in Iranian Patients with Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Introduction: Fingolimod is the first confirmed oral immune-modulator to treat Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS). This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of fingolimod therapy in Iranian patients with RRMS. Methods: In our trial, 50 patients resistant to conventional interferon therapy were assigned to receive fingolimod 0.5 mg per day for 12 months. The number of D...
