Je kan vanaf nu Afl. 12: MRI & AI bekijken en/of beluisteren op Youtube. Is er een verschil tussen #scanners ? Waarom moet je altijd onder dezelfde scanner gaan? Wat kan #ai hierin betekenen? Wordt een radioloog dan overbodig? @4nnsMiles

Low anti-inflammatory effect of tolebrutinib but clear effect on disease progression… but many analysis are pending: why no effect on brain atrophy/why is the effect Gd+ lesions low/… Hopefully deep dive in the data will learn us more! 🤞🏻…let’s get on this 💪🏻

Jiwon Oh (US): tolebrutinib vs teriflunimode in RRMS (GEMINI trials). - ARR : no difference! - 6m CDW: 29% reduction on tolebr - 3m CDW: 27% reduction on tolebr - New Gd+ lesions are higher on tolebrutinib! - T2 lesions: no difference - good safety profile #ECTRIMS2024

Chataway (UK): MS-stat2 study on simvastatin 80mg vs placebo in SPMS. Large phase 3 trial, unfortunately no significant effect on confirmed progression 🤷🏻‍♂️ #ECTRIMS2024

Kowalec (US) effect of genetic predisposition for depression on disease activity in #MS. Higher risk of relapse and EDSS progression in persons with higher predisposition for depression! Importance of comorbidity on MS disease course! #ECTRIMS2024

Abdelhak: effect of fingolimod and anti-CD20 treatment on sGFAP (z-scores) evolution & subsequent effect on PIRA in RRMS pts. Lowering Z-GFAP in first two years of treatment decreases PIRA risk in subsequent years by 44 (aCD20)-55%(fingo) sNFL does not add effect #ECTRIMS2024

1. Unfortunately ‘measuring’ B cell tolerance defects is cumbersome and not readily available for the clinic 🤷🏻‍♂️ 2. Extending the interval of course has also other goals: decreasing infections risk (and treatment costs) f.e.

1. Per patient, the interval seems to be quite stable (f.e. 10months every time before repopulation in same patient) 2. Cutoff used for repopulation was 10cells/ml (0,01/mcl) abs count!

Müller Jannis: MSBase register study in de-escalation of treatment in #MS. Increased risk of relapse reoccurring remains 2.3x higher. No real cutoff for age, EDDS, disease duration or time from last relapse was found. Note: Most were on natalizumab in this study! #ECTRIMS2024
