Experts shared their clinical perspectives on trending topics in the treatment and management of multiple sclerosis at the 41st Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis.

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.

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

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

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.
