A phase 2 trial found liposomal mitoxantrone hydrochloride had an acceptable safety profile and a potential trend toward fewer relapses in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
The phase 2 FENerations1 study is an open-label, single-arm, small-scale study evaluating fenebrutinib dosing in 8 to 12 children and adolescents with relapsing MS.
Data from the real-world, CONFIDENCE study found switching from intravenous to subcutaneous ocrelizumab was well tolerated in patients with relapsing and primary progressive MS.
Open-label extension data showed that disability trends observed with vidofludimus calcium during the double-blind period of the phase 2 CALLIPER trial persisted with continued treatment in progressive MS.
Early phase 1 data in 3 patients suggest CTA313, an allogeneic CD19/BCMA CAR-T, may stabilize disability with a manageable safety profile in progressive MS.
One-year data from the phase 3 AQUARELLE study found that divozilimab, an anti-CD20 antibody, reduced relapse risk in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
Decade of OPERA Data Supports Early Ocrelizumab Treatment Initiation in Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
A newly published 10-year analysis of the OPERA I and II trials reported that starting ocrelizumab 2 years earlier was associated with less disability accrual in relapsing MS, with no new safety signals.
