Dimethyl Fumarate, But Not Rituximab, Reduces Serum GFAP Levels and PIRMA in Relapsing–Remitting MS
ABSTRACT Objective Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (sGFAP) levels are believed to reflect mainly acute and chronic disease processes in multiple sclerosis (MS), respectively. In this study, we investigated whether dimethyl fumarate (DMF) and rituximab (RTX) differentially affect these biomarkers.

Immunological biomarkers identifying natalizumab-treated multiple sclerosis patients at risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy [PDF]
Natalizumab-induced progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) appears to be unleashed by complex interactions between viral and immunological host factors leading the latent form of JC virus to become pathogenic.

Early‐stage health technology assessment of a curative gene therapy for multiple sclerosis
Aims Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with significant early morbidity, reduced life expectancy and substantial healthcare and societal costs. The primary objective of this study is to assess the early cost‐effectiveness potential of a novel gene therapy, IMMUTOL, for MS compared with current high‐efficacy treatment sequences.

Aims Ocrelizumab is a humanized anti‐CD20 monoclonal antibody used in multiple sclerosis. Since its commercialization, several cases of ocrelizumab‐induced colitis have been reported in the scientific literature. Methods To explore the potential association of ocrelizumab with colitis as an adverse drug reaction (ADR), we conducted a descriptive and ...

Differential effects of α4β7 and GPR15 on homing of effector and regulatory T cells from patients with UC to the inflamed gut in vivo [PDF]
Objective: Gut homing of lymphocytes via adhesion molecules has recently emerged as new target for therapy in inflammatory bowel diseases. We aimed to analyze the in vivo homing of effector (Teff) and regulatory (Treg) T cells to the inflamed gut via ...
