The Global Head of Neuroimmunology at Genentech discussed the upcoming phase III trial of ocrelizumab while on-site at ECTRIMS 2018.

An updated safety analysis of the therapy in patients with relapsing MS, up to 10 years, has shown no new safety signals.

Subcutaneous immunoglobulin is an effective and well-tolerated alternative to intravenous immunoglobulin for myasthenia gravis.

Eculizumab showed sustained activity and tolerability through 3 years for generalized myasthenia gravis.

The vice president of Medical Research at Biogen spoke about the intersection between high-quality data utilization and individualized medicine in multiple sclerosis.

Data from multiple open-label extension trials have suggested that the therapy is more beneficial with earlier initiation compared to interferon ß-1a.

The postdoctoral scientist spoke about an actimetry-based method studying the clinical relevance of temporal dynamics of sleep to make the dynamics easily quantifiable in everyday context.

The medical coordinator of the Multidisciplinary Sleep-Wake Disorders Center at Antwerp University Hospital spoke about how to address some of the issues faced in OSA treatment development.

The identification of the subtypes allows future studies to target homogeneous subtype samples, resolve inconsistencies, personalize treatment and utilize preventive interventions.

Proof-of-concept studies using a targeted phenotypic approach to reduce obstructive sleep apnea severity are showing exciting results.

The identification of 3 key non-anatomical contributors to OSA has unlocked new potential pharmacotherapies, a major advance for the field.

Recent research has identified novel potential pathophysiological mechanisms that could potentially serve to subclassify various phenotypes in obstructive sleep apnea.

The actimetry-based method allows for easily quantifiable sleep dynamics in real life context, enabling large-scale clinical studies to investigate the complex temporal dynamics of sleep.

Lanctôt advised ruling out any possible underlying medical conditions that could be causing it, including pain, as well as starting with any non-pharmacologic interventions.

Long-term maintenance of efficacy was demonstrated with solriamfetol for treatment of excessive sleepiness with narcolepsy or obstructive sleep apnea.
