MS and Demyelinating Disorders

Here's some of what is coming soon to NeurologyLive® this week.

In this final episode, Riley Bove, MD, considers the next phase of MS research, emphasizing the need for innovative trial designs to address sequencing, discontinuation, and subgroup-specific treatment strategies.

In this clip, a multiple sclerosis expert reflects on how ofatumumab’s role has expanded since FDA approval in 2020, from first-line use to special populations, and what this means for daily practice.

Final results from a phase 3 extension study presented at ECTRIMS 2025 demonstrated long-term efficacy and safety of ravulizumab-cwvz in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.

Riley Bove, MD, an associate professor of neurology at UCSF, breaks down the ARTIOS phase 3b trial results, highlighting the exceptionally low relapse rates, MRI outcomes, and safety findings in patients switching therapies.

At ECTRIMS 2025, a staff neurologist at Cleveland Clinic discussed findings from an observational study on long-term safety risks of ocrelizumab in patients with multiple sclerosis. [WATCH TIME: 3 minutes]

Mind Moments®, a podcast from NeurologyLive®, brings you an exclusive interview with Daniel Ontaneda, MD, PhD. [LISTEN TIME: 19 minutes]

In episode 1, Bove explores how ofatumumab, a B-cell–depleting therapy, stands apart from fingolimod and fumarates, and why its mechanism may offer distinct treatment advantages.

At ECTRIMS 2025, the postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Siena in Italy talked about how machine learning could classify multiple sclerosis into biologically distinct subtypes. [WATCH TIME: 5 minutes]

In a phase 3 trial presented at ECTRIMS 2025, ocrelizumab demonstrated noninferior relapse control compared with fingolimod in pediatric patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

Primary results presented at ECTRIMS 2025 suggest that body-weight–adjusted high-dose of ocrelizumab did not further slow disease progression in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis.

A phase 2 study presented at ECTRIMS 2025 showed that autologous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell therapy was safe and effective in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

At ECTRIMS 2025, the associate professor of neurology at Yale School of Medicine talked about the 2024 diagnostic criteria, the preclinical phase of the disease, and progressive MS. [WATCH TIME: 3 minutes]

A global panel of experts revised NMOSD diagnostic criteria and updated disease classifications, distinguishing aquaporin-4 antibody–positive disease from related conditions such as MOGAD.

New research highlights the effectiveness of paramagnetic rim lesions as a key biomarker for diagnosing multiple sclerosis, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.

Take 5 minutes to catch up on NeurologyLive®'s highlights from the week ending September 26, 2025.

At ECTRIMS 2025, the professor of neurology at the University of Basel talked about the decades of progress in MS therapeutics and highlighted the need for comprehensive, early assessments for patients. [WATCH TIME: 4 minutes]

New data reveal vidofludimus calcium shows promise in slowing disability progression in primary progressive multiple sclerosis, warranting further trials.

At ECTRIMS 2025, experts discussed using AI-powered unstructured data processing to enhance understanding of drug efficacy, safety, and patient outcomes in multiple sclerosis. [WATCH TIME: 3 minutes]

In a head-to-head phase 3 trial presented at ECTRIMS 2025, rituximab was noninferior to cladribine in preventing new or enlarging MRI lesions in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

In a late-breaking presentation at ECTRIMS 2025, findings showed that annual administration of rituximab was noninferior in efficacy to the 6-monthly treatment for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
