Phase 2 MoonStone trial shows obexelimab sharply cuts new MRI lesions in relapsing MS by week 12, with convenient, weekly self-injection.

In the phase 3 PERSEUS trial, BTK inhibitor tolebrutinib did not significantly reduce disability progression compared with placebo in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis.

The assistant professor of medicine at the University of Toronto discussed whether multiple sclerosis can develop prior to Epstein–Barr virus infection and what new population data reveal about the long-standing causality debate. [WATCH TIME: 4 minutes]

New results presented at ACTRIMS showed that in the phase 3 FENtrepid study, fenebrutinib was noninferior to ocrelizumab in reducing disability progression in primary progressive multiple sclerosis.

The staff neurologist at Cleveland Clinic’s Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis provided background on a study presented at ACTRIMS 2026 focused on patient-reported barriers to timely multiple sclerosis treatment initiation. [WATCH TIME: 4 minutes]

A nurse practitioner at the Rocky Mountain MS Clinic discussed emerging therapeutics, evolving management strategies, and unmet needs in multiple sclerosis, specifically in women’s health.

Late-breaking data from the 2026 ACTRIMS Forum showed that bazedoxifene acetate failed to improve remyelination outcomes in midlife women with relapsing MS, despite a favorable safety profile.

Phase 3 DAWN data show daratumumab cuts NMOSD relapse risk 76%, stays well tolerated, and may improve disability, signaling a new targeted option.

Neurologists Michael Levy, MD, PhD, and Fu-Dong Shi, MD, PhD, discuss the rationale, design, and clinical implications of the phase 3 DAWN trial evaluating daratumumab in aquaporin-4–positive NMOSD.

AGNOS trial showed that monthly treatment with ofatumumab lowered NfL and GFAP in patients with early RRMS, signaling reduced nerve damage and bolstering first-line treatment potential.

The professor of neurology at Cleveland Clinic discussed how evolving imaging and biological insights have reshaped the way clinicians define and talk about multiple sclerosis. [WATCH TIME: 3 minutes]

The single-arm CLAD-MAPET study is evaluating whether cladribine tablets reduce microglial activation, captured by [F-18]PBR06-PET, in patients with MS experiencing progression without relapse or MRI activity on anti-CD20 therapy.

A real-world study showed that cladribine tablets were associated with greater treatment persistence and lower health care costs in patients with multiple sclerosis compared with other common therapies.

A new comparison study of patients with autoimmune diseases reported high rates of anxiety and depression, with notable differences in when psychiatric symptoms emerged relative to disease onset.
