Dimethyl Fumarate and Its Esters: A Drug with Broad Clinical Utility? [PDF]
Fumaric acid esters (FAEs) are small molecules with anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating effects. Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is the best characterised FAE and is approved and registered for the treatment of psoriasis and Relapsing ...

Descriptive Analysis of Patients Treated with Diroximel Fumarate and Dimethyl Fumarate-A Real-Life Experience. [PDF]
Background: Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) and diroximel fumarate (DRF) are two treatments used for multiple sclerosis (MS) that have been shown to be effective in controlling MS patients. DRF was introduced in 2019 with the aim of decreasing the gastrointestinal side effects caused by DMF. Few real-life studies verify the data provided in the clinical trials.

Diroximel fumarate demonstrates an improved gastrointestinal tolerability profile compared with dimethyl fumarate in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: Results from the randomized, double-blind, phase III EVOLVE-MS-2 study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Diroximel fumarate (DRF) is a novel oral fumarate approved in the USA for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. DRF is converted to monomethyl fumarate, the pharmacologically active metabolite of dimethyl fumarate (DMF).

Diroximel fumarate (DRF) in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: Interim safety and efficacy results from the phase 3 EVOLVE-MS-1 study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Diroximel fumarate (DRF) is a novel oral fumarate for patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). DRF and the approved drug dimethyl fumarate yield bioequivalent exposure to the active metabolite monomethyl fumarate; thus ...

Lymphopenia is Not the Primary Therapeutic Mechanism of Diroximel Fumarate in Relapsing–Remitting Multiple Sclerosis: Subgroup Analyses of the EVOLVE-MS-1 Study [PDF]
Introduction In EVOLVE-MS-1 (NCT02634307), mean absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) on diroximel fumarate (DRF) declined from baseline by approximately 28% in year 1, then stabilized, similar to ALC decline observed with dimethyl fumarate (DMF).

Multiple Sclerosis Patients Treated With Diroximel Fumarate in the Real-World Setting Have High Rates of Persistence and Adherence. [PDF]
Persistence to multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying therapy is fundamental for maximal treatment outcomes. Diroximel fumarate (DRF) is approved in the USA for relapsing MS. Following oral administration, DRF is metabolized to monomethyl fumarate, the active metabolite of dimethyl fumarate (DMF).

Diroximel Fumarate Acts Through Nrf2 to Attenuate Methylglyoxal-Induced Nociception in Mice and Decrease ISR Activation in DRG Neurons. [PDF]
Diabetic neuropathic pain is associated with elevated plasma levels of methylglyoxal (MGO). MGO is a metabolite of glycolysis that causes pain hypersensitivity in mice by stimulating the phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (p-eIF2α) and subsequently activating the integrated stress response (ISR).

New onset lymphopenia in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis switching from long-standing dimethyl fumarate treatment to diroximel fumarate: A case series. [PDF]
Lymphopenia is a known adverse effect in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) treated with fumaric acids. We present a case series of four patients diagnosed with RMS with prolonged lymphocyte stability on dimethyl fumarate for over 1 year who developed significant lymphopenia after transitioning to diroximel fumarate.
