Switch from fingolimod to ozanimod for safety or intolerance reasons (B5) - Jul 2, 2024 - Abstract #EAN2024EAN_2956; More studies from these areas are encouraged. Switching from fingolimod to ozanimod might be a good strategy in patients who experienced lymphopenia or hypertransaminasemia during fingolimod therapy.

Alemtuzumab in Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis: Navigating Efficacy and Autoimmune Challenges (B6) - Jul 2, 2024 - Abstract #EAN2024EAN_2842; Despite lacking specific risk factors for alemtuzumabassociated thyroid eye disease, except gender, the patient proved unresponsive to immunosuppression, necessitating thyroidectomy. This case highlights alemtuzumab's efficacy in RRMS while underscoring the need for monitoring due to potential autoimmune complications, with a favorable clinical outcome despite challenges.

Ocrelizumab-induced colitis in patients with multiple sclerosis: an emerging safety issue (B5) - Jul 2, 2024 - Abstract #EAN2024EAN_2601; FDA recently issued a warning regarding OAC, which could be potentially severe. We highlight the importance for clinicians of being aware of this safety risk and of a prompt intervention with multidisciplinary approach, including endoscopic evaluation and timely treatment.

Comparing Lymphocyte Count among different S1P modulators in Multiple Sclerosis: a Multicenter Real-World Study (B6) - Jul 2, 2024 - Abstract #EAN2024EAN_2488; Our study aims to compare the absolute lymphocytes counts (ALCs) of MS patients treated with Fingolimod (FTY), Siponimod (SIP), Ozanimod (OZA), and Ponesimod (PON). Despite a short follow-up, our study demonstrated a different degree of induced-lymphopenia among S1P modulators, as OZA and PON showed higher ALCs and a lower percentage of severe lymphopenia in pwMS.

Ocrelizumab versus siponimod: a real life comparison study (B6) - Jul 2, 2024 - Abstract #EAN2024EAN_2487; Despite a short follow-up, our study demonstrated a different degree of induced-lymphopenia among S1P modulators, as OZA and PON showed higher ALCs and a lower percentage of severe lymphopenia in pwMS. Despite a short 18-month follow-up, similar treatment outcomes in elderly paMS patients in SIP or OCR therapy suggest that both treatments are similarly effective and safe in elderly patients.

An atypical case of macular oedema in ozanimod (B5) - Jul 2, 2024 - Abstract #EAN2024EAN_973; This case highlights the risk of developing ME during ozanimod exposure. Further research is needed to better understand whether a long term exposition to different S1PR, with different drug sequencing, may be associated with higher risk of ME.

(Pubmed Central) - Jul 1, 2024 antagonists, Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, fingolimod, JAK/STAT inhibitors (Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription), and monoclonal antibody against CD52. Other risk factors-such as age, underlying condition, and concurrent immunosuppressants, especially corticosteroids-should also be taken into account during risk stratification.

PK/PD data, Preclinical, Journal: In Vivo Ocular Pharmacokinetics and Toxicity of Siponimod in Albino Rabbits. (Pubmed Central) - Jul 1, 2024 This study provides important information necessary for the formulation and development of siponimod for ophthalmologic applications. The short half-life of siponimod necessitates the development of a sustained drug delivery system to maintain therapeutic concentrations over an extended period, while the lack of short-term ocular toxicity observed in the retinas of siponimod-treated rabbits supports possible clinical use.
