Hi,

The next treatment for SPMS (and also PPMS I guess) will probably be this one:
https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/ ... -for-spms/

Expected in US in March 2019
Later (so I guess end of the year) in Europe

Regarding Siponimod, it sounds like PML could be a potential problem.

https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com/ ... 2-for-spms
Siponimod works by stopping the immune cells from entering the brain and spinal cord, preventing them from causing inflammation and damage to the myelin sheath.

Siponimod does this by binding to the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor found on the outside of immune cells, blocking its normal action. It interacts specifically with S1P receptor 1 and 5. The S1P receptor is important to trigger the release of immune cells from the lymph node and into the circulating blood. Siponimod keeps the immune cells trapped in the lymph node, slowing MS disease progression.
and...

https://mymsaa.org/publications/msresea ... siponimod/
Siponimod is a drug with a mechanism of action similar to Gilenya. Like Gilenya, it works at the S1P receptor family to block the movement of lymph cells from lymph nodes, however, siponimod appears to interact with less of the receptors than Gilenya does – with its primary actions at the S1P1 and the S1P5 receptors. Siponimod has a relatively short half-life compared to Gilenya, which means that the drug does not stay in the body as long. Researchers hope that these small differences will minimize cardiac issues.

This trial http://www.thisisms.com/forum/drug-pipe ... 30179.html has already started. I am registered for the trial, but am on a wash out period of Gilenya (ie Siponimod's older brother); 9 months, so my first dosing is in feb Image. They have run a previous trial using autologous cells, and previous to that, a single original trial patient. From my understanding the original single guy improved, the second trial was supposedly successful based on a company bought up the rights, and is now running an allogeneic based trial. (see link, in the link) I reiterate, this trial has already started dosing patients. I tried to get onto the second trial, but although the dr was in Australia, he only included patients from his hospital Image

I finished my last dosing a number of months ago. However, I have notably progressed including a relapse. I am SPMS. I have received the second highest dosing.

I will be discussing with the trial Neuro about coming off the trial, and starting another DMD or restarting Gilenya.

Although the study is un-blinded, all the test/results are not seen until after the end of the trial. I think they want to test all the samples in one batch, so that there is no difference in the results induced by difference in testing over time. I am thinking of getting my GP to run an independent EBV test, to see if there is a change in that respect.

Siponimod was recently approved as Mayzent.

viewforum.php?f=61

Its efficacy on slowing disability progression is not terribly impressive (this graph is from the prescribing information).

That graph/chart looks surprising similar to one you posted recently in an Ocrevus thread (for Ocrevus, obviously):

Its on my list of exit options for discussion. However, I do not think it has been approved in Australia. I think it is still under consideration of our equivalent of the FDA i.e. the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) and for Govt funding under the PBA ( ie Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme). Gilenya comes from >$2000 AUD a month down to $40 AUD a month.

PS: I am SPMS, no enhancing lesions, so Lemtrada is out.

The Mayzent graph appears to be either distorted or the relative risk reduction calculation was done incorrectly. If one extends horizontal lines from the treatment plots over to the y axis, I get about 43% for the control treatment and about 36% for the Mayzent treatment.

Relative risk reduction should be calculated as (controls-treated)/controls.
https://bestpractice.bmj.com/info/us/to ... late-risk/

This yields (43%-36%)/43% = 16.3% relative risk reduction.

Am I missing something? I just don't see how they got 21%.

A similar analysis of the Ocrevus data plot yields...

Relative risk: (46.71-38.86)/46.71 = 16.8%

I don't see how they get the claimed 24% ???
