This edition presents the views and insights from three key opinion leaders (KOLs) from the US and Europe on a variety of recent events in the multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment landscape. Topics covered include; Roche reporting that a German patient with MS has developed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) following three years of treatment with Tysabri (natalizumab; Biogen) and one dose of Ocrevus (ocrelizumab); Merck Group announcing that the European Medicine Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has issued a positive opinion for approval of Mavenclad (cladribine) for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS) in patients with high disease activity, and presenting new data on cladribine’s mechanism of action; and The European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) provisionally restricting the use of Zinbryta (daclizumab; Biogen/AbbVie) due to a patient’s death from liver injury (fulminant liver failure), to patients with highly active relapsing disease that has failed to respond to certain other treatments, and to patients with rapidly evolving relapsing disease who cannot be treated with other medicines.
