Disability Accumulation and Early Therapy: Insights from MAGNIFY-MS and High-Efficacy DMT Data
Author(s):
Key Takeaways
- Cladribine reduces disability accumulation in both treatment-naive and previously treated patients, highlighting the importance of early therapy initiation.
- High-efficacy DMTs, including ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, and S1P receptor modulators, effectively manage PIRA and mitigate disability progression.
Panelists discuss how the MAGNIFY-MS study underscores the significance of early, aggressive multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment with cladribine, demonstrating its potential to effectively mitigate disability progression through progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA) suppression in both treatment-naive and previously treated patient populations, with outcomes competitive with other high-efficacy disease-modifying therapies.
Video content above is prompted by the following:
- Stefano et al presented data on disability accumulation (PIRA, relapse-associated worsening, confirmed disability accumulation) with cladribine from the MAGNIFY-MS study that show the importance of early initiation of therapy. Please highlight disability accumulation in both treatment-naive and previously treated groups.
- Please share an overview of PIRA data with other high-efficacy disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) (ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, S1P receptor modulators, etc).
