Journal: Functional Connectivity Changes After Initial Treatment With Fingolimod in Multiple Sclerosis. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 11, 2019 Cognitive improvement at month 6 was significantly (p < 0.05) related to baseline FC reduction in posterior cortical areas. This study shows significant changes in functional connectivity, both at baseline and after the execution of a simple motor task following 6 months of fingolimod therapy.

...In this case, dimethyl fumarate may carry a lower risk of relapse than interferon beta or glatiramer acetate...The evidence suggests that the washout period between natalizumab and fingolimod should not exceed 12 weeks. Finally, the limited evidence available for rituximab and alemtuzumab is promising, and further data on these and other newer therapies for RRMS are awaited.

Clinical, Journal: Clinical activity after fingolimod cessation: disease reactivation or rebound? (Pubmed Central) - Apr 5, 2019 The present study showed that more than 26% of patients are at risk of having a relapse within 6 months after fingolimod discontinuation. Nevertheless, the risk of severe reactivations and rebound that we found is lower than that which has been previously described.

Review, Journal: Targeting Cytokine Signaling and Lymphocyte Traffic via Small Molecules in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: JAK Inhibitors and S1PR Agonists. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 2, 2019 S1PR agonists are being studied in IBD and other immune-mediated disorders. This review will focus on SM drugs approved and under development, including JAK inhibitors (tofacitinib, filgotinib, upadacitinib, peficitinib) and S1PR agonists (KRP-203, fingolimod, ozanimod, etrasimod, amiselimod), and their mechanism of action.

Later, she was shifted to fingolimod as testing for John Cunningham polyoma virus (JCV) antibodies was positive...Intravenous steroids and intravenous immunoglobulin were given, and within a few weeks, the patient was stabilized and started to gradually improve. CONCLUSIONS In patients at risk for developing PML who present with typical clinical features, testing for JCV DNA is recommended even in the absence of typical radiological findings in order to prevent any delay in the diagnosis.

Clinical, Journal: Real-Life Outcome in Multiple Sclerosis in the Czech Republic. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 28, 2019 Treatment with natalizumab or fingolimod was associated with a lower risk of progression to EDSS 4. Our results link relapses to progression and indicate that the newer treatments have a better effectiveness, despite difficulties caused by small a sample size, administrative rules guiding treatment, and absence of a random comparator group.

(Pubmed Central) - Mar 28, 2019 Our results link relapses to progression and indicate that the newer treatments have a better effectiveness, despite difficulties caused by small a sample size, administrative rules guiding treatment, and absence of a random comparator group. Our findings suggest a useful in vitro PBN stimulation model for evaluating the neutrophil functional status and the therapeutic potentials of neutrophil-targeting candidates in asthmatics.

Journal: Nodes of Ranvier in glaucoma. (Pubmed Central) - Mar 23, 2019 After one week of systemic treatment with fingolimod, an immunosuppressant therapy for relapsing-remitting MS, DBA/2J mice showed a substantial reduction in node pathology and mild effects on axon morphology. These data suggest that neurophysiological deficits in the DBA/2J may be due to defects in intact axons and targeting node pathology may be a promising intervention for some types of glaucoma.
