    Review, Journal:  Brain Atrophy as an Outcome of Disease-Modifying Therapy for Remitting-Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis. (Pubmed Central) -  Sep 11, 2023   
    Dimethyl fumarate (DEFINE) and fingolimod (FREEDOMS I) initially exhibited significant effect on BVL; however, this effect was not confirmed in further clinical trials: CONFIRM and FREEDOMS II, respectively...Our results show that BVL in one of the components of clinical disability worsening, together with other variables (lesion volume and annualized relapse rate). Standardization of atrophy measurement technique as well as harmonization of disability worsening and progression criteria in further clinical trials are of utmost importance as they enable a reliable comparison of neuroprotective potential of DMTs.

    Observational data, Journal:  Long-lasting neutralizing antibodies and T cell response after the third dose of mRNA anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in multiple sclerosis. (Pubmed Central) -  Jul 10, 2023   
    The frequency of Spike-specific IFN?-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was measured by stimulating Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) with a pool of peptides covering the complete protein coding sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 S. Blood samples from 70 pwMS (11 untreated pwMS, 11 under dimethyl fumarate, 9 under interferon-?, 6 under alemtuzumab, 8 under cladribine, 12 under fingolimod and 13 under ocrelizumab) and 24 healthy donors were collected before and up to six months after three vaccine doses...Altogether, our observations highlight the vaccine response data to current protocols in pwMS and underline the necessity to carefully follow-up anti-CD20- treated patients for higher risk of breakthrough infections. Our study may provide useful information to refine future vaccination strategies in pwMS.

    Review, Journal:  Disease-modifying therapy for multiple sclerosis: Implications for gut microbiota. (Pubmed Central) -  Jun 5, 2023   
    However, the association between DMTs exposure and microbial changes was mostly indirect, and the results of the different studies needed to be more consistent. The mitigation of methodological bias is necessary for future studies to allow the identification of a "microbial signature" related to MS pathophysiology, the role of DMTs, and possible prognostic implications.

    Review, Journal:  Monoclonal Antibodies in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: A Review and an Updated Clinical Guide. (Pubmed Central) -  May 27, 2023   
    As a result, monoclonal antibodies, including natalizumab, alemtuzumab, ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, and ublituximab, are frequently used for the treatment of MS in women of childbearing age...We aim to provide an updated overview of the mechanisms of action, risks of exposure and treatment withdrawal, and pre-conception counseling and management during pregnancy and post-partum of monoclonal antibodies in women with MS. Discussing treatment options and family planning with women of childbearing age is essential before commencing a DMT in order to make the most suitable choice for each individual patient.

    Journal:  The Impact of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Multiple Sclerosis Patients taking Disease- Modifying Therapies. (Pubmed Central) -  May 26, 2023   
    B-cell depleting agents (ocrelizumab and rituximab) were given to 19 patients, another 19 were on immune cell Traffickers (fingolimod and natalizumab) and 13 were on other DMT treatments (alemtuzumab, cladribine, interferon-beta, dimethyl fumarate, and teriflunomide)...None experiences MS relapses during infection. Two patients on rituximab had a moderate course of the illness, which required hospitalization for oxygen support, but did not need mechanical ventilation and the rest remained asymptomatic.

    Grave's disease secondary to Alemtuzumabuse (ENDOExpo) -  May 11, 2023 - Abstract #ENDO2023ENDO_2502;    
    We were just initially able to treat her with prednisone, beta blocker and cholestyramine with close biochemical monitoring as an outpatient...At this time, she remains to be on methimazole as an outpatient...To our knowledge, there is no published case with reported ALZ-induced Grave's disease with this length of interval since infusion. Our case highlights not only the importance of pretreatment screening but continued vigilance and close thyroid function monitoring in patients treated with ALZ even several years after therapy.

    Journal:  Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in People With Active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis. (Pubmed Central) -  Mar 15, 2023   
    EIT presents higher efficacy in preventing disability progression, a similar safety profile, and can be cost-effective within a 5-year timeline. The use of AHSCT in people with active SPMS is associated with a slowing of disability progression and a higher likelihood of disability improvement compared with standard immunotherapy.

    New Mitigation Protocol for Alemtuzumab Infusion Related Reactions in a Chilean Cohort (Both in-person and online) -  Mar 12, 2023 - Abstract #AAN2023AAN_2827;    
    Conclusions The NMP decreases the occurrence of IRRs during the first and second cycle of alemtuzumab compared to the SMP. Larger cohorts are needed to reduce biases and to analyze the impact of the NMP during third or fourth cycle or the impact in other infusion related reactions that are less frequent.

    Journal:  Thyroid autoimmunity following alemtuzumab treatment in multiple sclerosis patients: a prospective study. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 16, 2023   
    Our analysis showed earlier onset of ALZ-induced AITD in comparison to most other ALZ cohorts; overall, these patients required complex therapeutic approaches of the AITD. We observed a higher rate of fluctuating GD, with earlier onset and lower remission rate than previously reported, which in the majority of patients required prolonged "block and replace" therapy in the minimum dose of each therapeutic agent or more definitive interventions.

    Journal:  Circulating CCR6ILC proportions are lower in multiple sclerosis patients. (Pubmed Central) -  Dec 30, 2022   
    MS patients prior to alemtuzumab further displayed proportional shifts from ILC1 to ILC2, with MS-associated decreases in CCR6 helper ILC proportions. CD56 NK cells during relapse indicate an immediate response to disease reactivation, while CCR6-related shifts among helper ILC suggest altered ILC migration to the CNS during MS.
