Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis as a Multistep Process in the United States: A Population‐Based Study

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal, progressive neurodegenerative disease that typically results in death within 3–5 years from symptom onset. However, little is known about the environmental exposures, clinical aspects, or social determinants of health factors that may be associated with the disease.

Effect of natalizumab on disease progression in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (ASCEND). a phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with an open-label extension [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Background: Although several disease-modifying treatments are available for relapsing multiple sclerosis, treatment effects have been more modest in progressive multiple sclerosis and have been observed particularly in actively relapsing subgroups or ...

Relevance of Kappa and Lambda Free Light Chains in Autoimmune Astrocytopathy Associated With Anti‐GFAP Antibodies

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The kappa‐free light chain (κ‐FLC) index is known to be highly sensitive and specific for diagnosing multiple sclerosis (MS), while little is understood about lambda (λ)‐FLC. This study assessed the κ‐FLC and λ‐FLC indices in autoimmune glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytopathy.

Performance of Composite Endpoints Defining Progression Independent of Relapse Activity in Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective The characteristics and utility of composite progression independent of relapse activity (cPIRA; worsening on the Expanded Disability Status Scale [EDSS], or 9‐Hole Peg Test, or Timed 25‐Foot Walk Test) were evaluated as an endpoint in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) trials using the ENSEMBLE (NCT03085810) and pooled OPERA I/II ...
