Biomarker, Journal, Real-world evidence, Real-world: Evaluating the effect of dimethyl fumarate on subclinical biomarkers in a real-world patient cohort. (Pubmed Central) - Aug 7, 2024 Poor outcomes are predicted in individuals with high baseline risk who are treated with low-efficacy DMTs. Results of this real-world study were consistent with previous DMF phase III clinical trials, supporting the generalizability of the effects observed in clinical trials to the real-world clinical setting.

A case of cutaneous and osteosarcoidosis successfully treated with Tofacitinib (Poster Area) - Aug 5, 2024 - Abstract #EADV2024EADV_5126; JAK proteins are associated with cell surface cytokine receptors, and so are early mediators of cell response to inflammation whereby STAT driven transcription is initiated. In sarcoidosis, it is predominantly Type 1 inflammatory cytokines and interferon gamma that bind to JAK associated cytokine receptors1.

Journal, HEOR, Real-world evidence, Real-world: Comparative effectiveness of dimethyl fumarate versus non-specific immunosuppressants: Real-world evidence from MSBase. (Pubmed Central) - May 27, 2024 To use MSBase registry data to compare real-world outcomes in adults with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) treated with dimethyl fumarate (DMF) or NSIS (azathioprine, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, mitoxantrone or mycophenolate mofetil) between January 1, 2014 and April 1, 2022...The DMF cohort experienced longer times to discontinuation (HR: 0.75; p?=?0.001) and CDP (HR: 0.53; p?=?0.001), and shorter time to CDI (HR: 1.99; p?<?0.008), versus the NSIS cohort. This analysis supports the use of DMF to treat patients with relapsing forms of MS, and may have implications for MS practices in countries where NSIS are commonly used to treat RRMS.

Real-world Treatment Outcomes in Black, Hispanic, Asian, and White People with Multiple Sclerosis Treated with Fumarates (Colorado Convention Center | Exhibit Hall B-E) - Mar 8, 2024 - Abstract #AAN2024AAN_2734; Changes in T cell subsets in patients treated with DRF were not associated with an increase in infections. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) and diroximel fumarate (DRF) are disease-modifying therapies for relapsing MS...Similar FUM efficacy was observed in all racial/ethnic subgroups in this analysis of 2150 racial/ethnic minority pwMS, consistent with prior studies.

Journal, HEOR: Visualizing the target estimand in comparative effectiveness studies with multiple treatments. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 2, 2024 Early initiation of natalizumab produced long-term benefits in relapse outcomes in comparison with BRACETD, regardless of a subsequent escalation in therapy. We showcase how these visualization tools can facilitate the interpretation of target estimands in a case study comparing the effectiveness of teriflunomide (TERI), dimethyl fumarate (DMF)

Journal, HEOR, Cost-effectiveness, Cost effectiveness: Comparative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of natalizumab and fingolimod in rapidly evolving severe relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in the United Kingdom. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 12, 2023 Real-world data from the MSBase Registry were obtained for patients with RES-RRMS who were previously either naive to disease-modifying therapies or had been treated with interferon-based therapies, glatiramer acetate, dimethyl fumarate, or teriflunomide (collectively known as BRACETD)...Similar cost-effectiveness results were observed across sensitivity analyses. This MSBase Registry analysis suggests that natalizumab improves clinical outcomes when compared with fingolimod, which translates to higher QALYs and lower costs in UK patients with RES-RRMS.

(Pubmed Central) - Sep 11, 2023 The fumarates, dimethyl fumarate, diroximel fumarate, and monomethyl fumarate, are approved for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis...Additionally, no increase in relapse has been observed in pwMS following vaccination. In pwMS receiving fumarates, vaccination is generally safe and elicits protective immune responses.

A necrobiotic disorder with limited response to numerous systemic therapies (Level 3 - Room 323) - Apr 24, 2023 - Abstract #WCD2023WCD_696; KEY POINTS: Perforating granuloma annulare is a rare subtype with a prevalence of 5% of granuloma annulare and 80% of patients are younger than 30 years (1). Histologically perforating transepithelial necrobiotic material can be seen and is recognised in perforating granuloma annulare (2), however, this can be difficult to differentiate from other conditions including cutaneous sarcoidosis and mycobacterial infection

Journal: Gut Microbiota Changes during Dimethyl Fumarate Treatment in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 12, 2023 In subjects reporting side effects, a higher abundance of Streptococcus, Haemophilus, Clostridium, Lachnospira, Blautia, Subdoligranulum, and Tenericutes and lower of Bacteroidetes, Barnesiella, Odoribacter, Akkermansia, and some Proteobacteria families were detected. Our results suggest that gut microbiota may be involved in therapeutic action and side effects of DMF, representing a potential target for improving disease course and DMT tolerability.

This study will provide valuable insight into patients’ preference for NTZ ROA in routine care and complement currently available data from clinical studies with real-world data on subcutaneous natalizumab.

Real-World Analysis Affirms High Persistence and Adherence with Diroximel Fumarate after Switch from DMF to DRF in MS (B1) - Jul 18, 2022 - Abstract #EAN2022EAN_2430; These findings substantiated the similar effectiveness and different discontinuation profiles for dimethyl fumarate and fingolimod as a second-line therapy for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, with no significant effect heterogeneity observed. Of 433 patients who switched from DMF to DRF, most (>90%) were able to tolerate and persist on DRF after switching; patients also had a high rate of adherence to DRF, with low treatment discontinuation due to GI AEs.
