Data from the MAGNIFY-MS study suggest that low 24-month PIRA rates across age groups and among those with or without treatment experience.

The data showed only a small number of infusion-related reactions among patients with MS transitioning from other disease-modifying therapies.

The 2-year study highlighted the potential of cladribine to promote remyelination in highly active relapsing-remitting MS, particularly when early disease control is achieved.

A large-scale study presented at ECTRIMS 2024, conducted by the Alliance for Research in Hispanic MS Consortium, identified ancestry-specific genetic factors that influence the risk of developing multiple sclerosis.

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

The consultant neurologist at Imperial College Healthcare Trust discussed how smoldering MS challenges traditional views of disease progression, seeking combined therapies targeting both inflammatory activity and mechanisms driving smoldering-associated worsening. [WATCH TIME: 4 minutes]

A recent study suggests that patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy lacking nerve conduction study evidence of demyelination can still respond positively to immunomodulatory therapies.
