Innovative research
A large number of disease-modifying treatments are now available to treat MS patients and with each of these treatments there is a unique benefit risk balance to consider. Innovative new research is now allowing treatments to be tailored to individual patients. This is improving patient care by addressing specific patient situations and helping to meet the individual needs of patients.
Presented by Professor Sven Meuth, this section of the symposium answers the question: What important new research should be considered when tailoring the use of natalizumab?

A benefit/risk ratio should take into account the efficacy of a disease modifying therapy. In this video, Professor Sven Meuth introduces the body of evidence for natalizumab treatment outcomes and considers the clinical implications of some of the data obtained in the phase 2 efficacy and dose finding study of natalizumab.

Professor Sven Meuth shares the results of the Tysabri Observational Program (TOP) study, for which most sites are in Europe1, which assessed the effect of natalizumab in real world use outcomes1. He focuses on the impact of natalizumab treatment over 10 years on disability, per the expanded disability status scale (EDSS), and delves into individual functional systems. He specifically looks at the effect of natalizumab on visual and bladder function from the AFFIRM Phase 3 and TRUST observational studies, respectively, given the importance these functions have on quality of life.

Returning to the European-based TOP study,1 Professor Sven Meuth answers the question – does the time between MS symptom onset and natalizumab treatment affect the percentage of treatment naïve patients showing EDSS improvement?

Professor Sven Meuth discusses a US-based analysis,2 derived from the MSPT3 using the TOUCH population in MS PATHS, which compared earlier use of natalizumab against later use of natalizumab in patients matched for the duration of treatment with natalizumab.
