Diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis: 2010 Revisions to the McDonald criteria
TLDR
These revisions simplify the McDonald Criteria, preserve their diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, address their applicability across populations, and may allow earlier diagnosis and more uniform and widespread use.
Diagnostic criteria for multiple sclerosis: 2005 revisions to the “McDonald Criteria”
TLDR
New evidence and consensus now strengthen the role of these criteria in the multiple sclerosis diagnostic workup to demonstrate dissemination of lesions in time, to clarify the use of spinal cord lesions, and to simplify diagnosis of primary progressive disease.
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of natalizumab for relapsing multiple sclerosis.
TLDR
Natalizumab reduced the risk of the sustained progression of disability and the rate of clinical relapse in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis and hold promise as an effective treatment for relapsed multiple sclerosis.
A placebo-controlled trial of oral fingolimod in relapsing multiple sclerosis.
TLDR
Both doses of oral fingolimod improved the relapse rate, the risk of disability progression, and end points on MRI and were superior to placebo with regard to MRI-related measures.
Defining the clinical course of multiple sclerosis
TLDR
Refined descriptors that include consideration of disease activity (based on clinical relapse rate and imaging findings) and disease progression are proposed and strategies for future research to better define phenotypes are outlined.
Randomized trial of oral teriflunomide for relapsing multiple sclerosis.
TLDR
Teriflunomide significantly reduced relapse rates, disability progression (at the higher dose), and MRI evidence of disease activity, as compared with placebo.
Rituximab in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis: Results of a randomized double‐blind placebo‐controlled multicenter trial
Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody selectively depleting CD20+ B cells, has demonstrated efficacy in reducing disease activity in relapsing‐remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). We evaluated rituximab in…
Ocrelizumab in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: a phase 2, randomised, placebo-controlled, multicentre trial
Oral fingolimod (FTY720) for relapsing multiple sclerosis.
TLDR
In this proof-of-concept study, fingolimod reduced the number of lesions detected on MRI and clinical disease activity in patients with multiple sclerosis and both measures decreased in patients who switched from placebo to fingolIMod.
A controlled trial of natalizumab for relapsing multiple sclerosis.
TLDR
In a placebo-controlled trial, treatment with natalizumab led to fewer inflammatory brain lesions and fewer relapses over a six-month period in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis.
