The Comparative Effectiveness and Tolerability of Sphingosine‐1‐Phosphate Receptor Modulators in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis: A Network Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sphingosine‐1‐phosphate receptor modulators (S1PRM) are used to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). Each drug has a different S1PR‐subtype selectivity. They target the G‐protein coupled S1P receptors and exert significant immunomodulatory effects, such as preventing the formation of new CNS lesions and the reactivation of pre ...
