In this kick-off segment, epilepsy expert Scott Perry, MD, explains how zorevunersen uses antisense oligonucleotide technology to correct SCN1A gene expression and address the underlying cause of Dravet syndrome.
Experts discuss long-term management strategies for stable multiple sclerosis (MS), including continuing current therapy, careful treatment discontinuation, de-escalation, and switching therapies, all tailored to individual patient needs to balance disease control with minimizing risks and treatment burden.
Experts discuss the infection risks associated with long-term anti-CD20 therapies in multiple sclerosis (MS), emphasizing the need for careful monitoring, patient-specific risk assessment, and tailored de-escalation strategies to balance effective disease control with minimizing treatment-related adverse effects.
