2 Treatment of relapses Cognitive relapses Switching therapy Relapse activity MRI activity Clinical worsening (Progression) Standard of Care: High dose corticosteroids Postulated to reduce blood brain barrier abnormalities by decreasing peripheral CD4 lymphocytes, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and inhibit class II receptor on endothelial cells The details.no standard at all 2
3 Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial (ONTT) - 250mg IV methylprednisolone (IVMP) q6h for 3 days - 1 mg/kg/day oral prednisone (OP) for 14 days - Oral placebo F/U for 2 and 3 years Results: IVMP recovered vision faster than placebo no difference at 6 months Oral prednisone no better than placebo Higher rate of recurrence in oral group in first two years, but no longer significant after 3 years Beck et al NEJM 1992, 1993, Arch Neurol 1995 Not a true comparison of oral and IV treatments - Doses different - IV 1000mg (divided q6h) vs. oral 1mg/kg OD - Dosing schedules different - (IV 3 days vs. oral 14 days) - Only optic neuritis included 3
4 Morrow et al Neurology 2004 Randomized, single blind pharmacokinetic study of IV 1000mg methylprednisolone vs. 1250mg oral prednisone No difference found on AUC analysis Martenelli et al Neurology 2009 Single blind MRI study No difference in reduction of gad-enhancing lesions or T2 lesions Oral versus Intravenous High Doses of Methylprednisolone in Multiple Sclerosis Relapses, a Double Blinded Randomised Controlled Trial 4
5 OBJECTIVE: To compare oral versus Intravenous (IV) efficacy and safety of MP 1g/day for 3 days for the treatment of MS relapses. DESIGN/METHODS: Non- inferiority trial French multicenter, double blinded randomized, non inferiority, controlled trial. 200 relapsing MS patients Randomized to receive MP 1g/day for 3 days orally or IV. EDSS scores were measured at 3, 8, 28 and 180 days Tolerance was evaluated at 2, 3, 4, 8 and 28 days and safety data were collected up to 180 days. Primary end-point was the percentage of patients improved at day 28 (decrease by at least 1 point of the most affected functional system) No significant difference between oral and IV Improved at 28 days after treatment (77.7% IV, 77.9% oral) 16% of patients on IV methylprednisolone needed retreatment versus 12.6% on oral treatment 43% on IV treatment totally recovered vs 39% on oral treatment 27.6% of IV treatment had another relapse after a median time of 86 days, vs. 32% of oral treatment after a median of 90.5 days Similar adverse event profiles Metallic tastes Hot flashes Headache Insomnia and agitation -- slightly more frequent in the oral treatment group. 5
6 Most Common Reddening of the face Transient ankle edema Elevated mood Insomnia Gastrointestinal Only in those w/ history of GI issues (Metz 1999) Rare but worrisome Psychosis Acute pancreatitis Anaphylaxis Transient hyperglycemia Transient hypertension Metz et al Neurology 1999 Sellebjerg and the EFNS guidelines Eur J Neurol 2005 Leary et al Postgrad J Med 2005 Bone demineralization Only seen with multiple pulses per year Objective: To determine the frequency and potential predictors of (hypo)manic and depressive symptoms with HDC treatment for MS relapses. Methods: Consecutive subjects with a relapse)requiring HDC treatment identified. Assessment of before, 3 days post HDC and one month later with: Mood Disorders Questionnaire (MDQ) for hypomania Beck Depression Inventory - Fast Screen (BDIFS) for depressive symptoms Results: Eighty eight subjects completed the study. At relapse diagnosis, mean BDIFS score was 4.2 (SD 3.1); mean number of (hypo)manic symptoms on the MDQ was 4.3 (SD 3.5). Three days after completing HDC treatment, 22.5% had an increase on the BDIFS and 38.2% endorsed more symptoms on the MDQ. A history of depression (p=0.006) and low reported quality of life (p=0.029) predicted an increase on the MDQ; Odds of an increase in (hypo)manic symptoms on HDC was 5.6 times higher with a history of any psychiatric disease/substance abuse (p=0.005). No factor was found to predict worsening on the BDIFS with HDC treatment. 6
7 Past steroid use? Ask about any symptoms with last treatment Treat symptoms accordingly 1 ST treatment? Hx of insomnia? Hx of GERD? Can prophylactically give perscriptions to be filled as needed Hx of diabetes? Check BG 4x/day and adjust medications accordingly Studies in the past have shown that stopping high doses of corticosteroids after short term use is safe Perumal et al Eur Neurol 2008 Randomized 285 relapses to taper or placebo post relapse treatment No difference between two groups on rate of recovery at 3, 6 and 12 months rebound or relapse recurrence Levic et al J Endo Invest 1996 Chrousos et al JAMA
8 Brainstem relapses and relapses with persistent gad-enhancement often rebound after high dose steroids pulse May need steroid taper 60mg X 5 days, followed by 10mg taper q3 days Has patient had rebound in the past? If so, give a perscription for taper, to be used if rebounds occurs What about the first treatment with steroids? Have patient inform you if he/she rebounds after the high dose 1250mg oral prednisone OR 1000mg IV methylprednisolone Depends on setting, convenience for patient, and relapse factors 3 to 5 days of treatment Taper usually not needed Manage adverse events individually 8
9 Corticotropin (as opposed to corticosteroid) Stimulates the adrenal cortex to secrete Cortisol Corticosterone Aldosterone Approved in 1978 by FDA to treat MS relapses Not used for several years due to limited manufacturing AEs similar to corticosteroids Hoogstraten et al year f/up of 29 MS patients treated with ACTH (IM) vs. placebo ACTH group did better at 1 st assessment, but by 6 and 12 months, there were no longer any significant differences ACTH group had higher risk of relapse in year Barnes et al MS relapses treated with IVMP 1g daily for 7 days vs. IM ACTH (80U, 60U, 40U, 20U daily each for one week) More rapid improvement at 3 and 28 days with IV MP, but no difference at 3 months Thompson et al MS relapses Randomized to IV MP 1X daily for 3 days vs. ACTH (80U for 7 days, 40U for 4 days, 20 U for 3 days) No difference in rate of recovery or final outcome at 12 weeks 9
10 Considered second line therapy after IVMP or dexamethasone, if Cannot tolerate AEs of high dose corticosteroids Have not responded to corticosteroids in past Have difficulty with IV medications because of poor venous access IM U daily for 2-3 weeks OR IM 80U daily for a week followed by a taper over a week 10

21 Prompt treatment with high dose corticosteroids will lead to improvement of relapse symptoms Equivalent high doses of IV or oral appropriate Can use ACTH if poor tolerance corticosteroids Cognitive relapses can occur and respond to treatment similar to physical symptom relapses MRI activity and progression are also indicators of poor response to treatment Consider switching treatment if: More than one mild relapse One moderate to severe relapse Evidence of multiple new T2 or gad lesions on MRI Significant short term progression due to underlying inflammation 21
