    Review, Journal:  Advances in oral immunomodulating therapies in relapsing multiple sclerosis. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 10, 2020   
    The oral immunomodulator laquinimod did not reach the primary endpoint of reduction in confirmed disability progression in a phase 3 trial of patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis...This treatment scheme might lead to higher efficacy but also to new safety concerns. These sequential treatments were largely excluded in phase 2 and 3 trials; therefore, monitoring both short-term and long-term effects of sequential disease-modifying therapies in phase 4 studies, cohort studies, and registries will be necessary.

    These sequential treatments were largely excluded in phase 2 and 3 trials; therefore, monitoring both short-term and long-term effects of sequential disease-modifying therapies in phase 4 studies, cohort studies, and registries will be necessary. These real-world pharmacovigilance findings suggest that DILI might be a common feature of MS drugs and call for (1) formal population-based study to verify the risk of fampridine and (2) awareness by clinicians, who should assess the possible responsibility of MS drugs when they diagnose DILI.

    Journal:  Apogossypol-mediated reorganisation of the endoplasmic reticulum antagonises mitochondrial fission and apoptosis. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 7, 2020   
    However, neither genetic inhibition of DHODH using RNA interference nor metabolic supplementation with orotate or uridine to circumvent the consequences of a loss of DHODH activity rescued the effects of DHODH inhibitors, suggesting that the effects of these inhibitors in preventing ER membrane reorganisation is most likely independent of their ability to antagonise DHODH activity. Our results strengthen the hypothesis that ER is fundamental for key mitochondrial functions, such as fusion-fission dynamics and apoptosis.

    Interestingly, we found that teriflunomide suppressed the maturation and function of dendritic cells (DCs) both in vivo and in vitro. In conclusion, our findings suggest that teriflunomide alleviates inflammation in EAU mice by down-regulating Th17 and Th1 cells and suppresses the maturation and function of DCs for the first time.

    As lymphopenia seems to be associated with a more severe disease course, all DMTs causing lymphopenia, such as cladribine, alemtuzumab, and dimethyl fumarate, need to be reviewed more thoroughly...In summary, previous coronavirus outbreaks have not shown an increased risk for immunocompromised patients. Patients with severe neuroimmunological diseases should be kept from hasty discontinuation of immunotherapy.

    Clinical, Journal:  Assessment of safety and effectiveness of oral multiple sclerosis medication. (Pubmed Central) -  May 28, 2020   
    The study results were able to capture the effectiveness rate for the targeted treatment in the studied population, with the frequency of incidence of side effects. However, as these results cannot be generalized for the entire Saudi population.

    Clinical, Journal:  Abnormalities and erythroblasts in peripheral blood of multiple sclerosis patients treated with natalizumab. (Pubmed Central) -  May 21, 2020   
    Hematopoietic abnormalities are common during natalizumab treatment. Given the lack of consequences of this finding during long-term follow-up, it is generally justifiable to refrain from further diagnostic procedures when observing hematopoietic abnormalities in patients using natalizumab.

    Journal:  Teriflunomide Does Not Change Dynamics of Nadph Oxidase Activation and Neuronal Dysfunction During Neuroinflammation. (Pubmed Central) -  May 20, 2020   
    Concerning drug safety, we can confirm that teriflunomide has no metabolic effects on neuronal function in the CNS tissue during neuroinflammation at concentrations expected in orally treated patients. The combined endogenous FLIM and calcium imaging approach developed by us and employed here uniquely meets the need to monitor cellular metabolism as a basic mechanism of tissue functions in vivo.

    Clinical, Review, Journal:  Immune Reconstitution Therapy or Continuous Immunosuppression for the Management of Active Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Patients? A Narrative Review. (Pubmed Central) -  Apr 17, 2020   
    Among continuously applied regimens, interferons and glatiramer acetate act as immunomodulators, while dimethyl fumarate, fingolimod, ocrelizumab, natalizumab and teriflunomide are associated with continuous immunosuppression...A short treatment course of a pharmacologic agent hypothesized to act as an IRT, such as Cladribine Tablets 3.5 mg/kg or alemtuzumab, can provide long-term suppression of MS disease activity, without need for continuous treatment (the anti-CD20 mechanism of ocrelizumab has the potential to act as an IRT, but is administered continuously, at 6-monthly intervals)...The introduction of IRT-like disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) challenges the traditional maintenance/escalation mode of treatment and raises new questions about how disease activity is measured. In this review, we consider a modern classification of DMDs for MS and its implications for the care of patients in the IRT era.

    [VIRTUAL] Early Effect of Ofatumumab on B-cell Counts and MRI Activity in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis Patients: Results from the APLIOS Study (Room Istanbul) -  Apr 9, 2020 - Abstract #EAN2020EAN_2316;    
    Background and aims: Ofatumumab, the 1 fully human anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody with a monthly 20mg subcutaneous (s.c.) dosing regimen, of gadolinium- enhancing (Gd+) lesions versus teriflunomide in the Phase 3 ASCLEPIOS I/II relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) trials. Ofatumumab treatment resulted in a rapid, close-to-complete and sustained B-cell depletion over 12 weeks, leading to a profound reduction of Gd+ lesions in RMS patients, consistent with the effects observed in the pooled Phase 3 ASCLEPIOS I/II population.
