14 MS Drugs: Current Landscape First disease-modifying treatments: interferons and glatiramer acetate Effective, generally well tolerated, but not ideal Injection site reactions Flu-like symptoms with interferons Efficacy only modest Patients just don t like injections
15 Current Oral Drugs Fingolimod Oral Generally well tolerated But, rare serious side effects n Bradycardia at first dose n Macular edema n Liver abnormalities n Infection potential Teriflunomide
16 Natalizumab Given by infusion Very potent Well tolerated by most patients But, risk of PML
17 Need for a Treatment Algorithm Wide range of medications available now or in the near future A logical treatment algorithm for matching individual patients with the most appropriate drug is needed Not available yet, but may soon with help from biomarker data
18 Future Directions: Progressive MS Previous treatments focused on preventing relapses and lesion activity None clearly effective in preventing or slowing progressive forms of MS New treatments should be directed at this unmet need
19 Statins Recent study found that simvastatin improved outcomes in secondary progressive MS Earlier studies of statins have shown conflicting results Anti-inflammatory effect, plus possibly a tissue-preserving or tissue-repairing effect Statins warrant more study in progressive MS
20 Cell Therapies Hematopoietic stem cell transplant has been used to tame severe attacks. Other approaches now under study include adult stem cells, particularly mesenchymal stem cells.
21 Diagnostic/Prognostic Aids MRI has been extremely helpful for assessing patients with relapsing MS No comparable methodology now available for neuroprotective or repair strategies Looking at DTI, MTI, OCT; all show promise for measuring tissue integrity Already being used as endpoints in early studies of cell-based therapies
22 Alemtuzumab In the Nearer Term Long-acting infusion drug; given annually Double-edged sword : long action is convenient but raises concern about reversibility of adverse effects Causes autoimmunity in a few patients n Manifested as thyroid disease, more rarely thrombocytopenia or glomerular basement membrane disease Probably manageable with close monitoring
23 In the Nearer Term (cont d) S1P Modulators Fingolimod was first in class Others now in development Cardiac side effects are a class effect But, 2 nd -generation drugs can be titrated such that starting doses can be low Also relatively short-acting These features should keep serious cardiac effects to a minimum
24 In the Nearer Term (cont d) BG-12 (Dimethyl fumarate) Very few significant safety issues in trials Many patients show flushing or GI effects early on therapy; how much of a problem remains unknown May have potential for tissue preservation but this is unconfirmed
25 Summary Identify the current therapies for MS and their limitations Recognize that treatments to prevent or slow progressive forms of MS remain a major unmet need Discuss with patients the pros and cons of new MS treatments now in development, including alemtuzumab, BG-12, 2 nd -generation S1P modulators, and cell therapies
