In the open-label extension where the highest dose of atogepant (Qulipta; AbbVie) was observed, 24.1% of participants had at least 7% weight loss compared with 14.7% of those on standard of care.

The journey of aducanumab (Aduhelm; Biogen) from development to the FDA is a tortured one, but its path may serve to teach the Alzheimer disease field valuable lessons as it strives forward to develop disease-modifying therapies.

Data from a study in Olmsted County, Minnesota, identified the incidence rate of status migrainosus to be 26.60 per 100,000, with more than 10% of the cohort reporting that too much or too little sleep triggered the condition.

The associate professor of neurology at Mayo Clinic and member of the board of directors at AHS shared her perspective on the importance of collecting more information on status migrainosus and the need to develop a better approach and definition. [WATCH TIME: 3 minutes]

Annualized attack rate was reduced to 0.08 attacks per year after the first administration of inebilizumab, similar to those who were not previously exposed to rituximab.

An indirect comparison study evaluated relative treatment effects of eculizumab (Soliris; Alexion), inebilizumab (Uplizna; Horizon), and satralizumab (Enspryng; Genentech), the 3 FDA-approved options for NMOSD.

During the double-blind treatment phase, rates of hypertension AEs were low for the placebo and erenumab 70- and 140-mg treatment groups, as well as during open-label erenumab treatment.

Between PREVENT baseline and end, mean EDSS and Hauser Ambulation Index scores improved with eculizumab (Soliris; Alexion) monotherapy and deteriorated with placebo alone.

Complete resolution of the index T2-lesion and resolution of all T2 lesions occurred most often in patients with MOGAD rather than AQP4-IgG-NMOSD or MS.

Instead of a smooth-contoured, thin, and regular ring or arc typically seen, pattern 3 patients had atypical rings such as irregularly thick rings and arcs.
