Long-term safety and efficacy of dimethyl fumarate for up to 13 years in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis: Final ENDORSE study results

Ralf Gold et al.

Summary: This study assessed the long-term safety and efficacy of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) in multiple sclerosis patients for up to 13 years. The results demonstrate sustained safety and efficacy of DMF treatment, with low annualized relapse rates and a majority of patients showing no disability worsening over the long-term treatment period. This supports the positive benefit-risk profile of DMF for long-term RRMS treatment.

Effect of Dimethyl Fumarate vs Interferon β-1a in Patients With Pediatric-Onset Multiple Sclerosis The CONNECT Randomized Clinical Trial

Patrick Vermersch et al.

Summary: This study compares the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) and intramuscular interferon beta-1a (IFN beta-1a) in pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS). The study found that DMF-treated patients had a lower proportion of new or newly enlarging T2 lesions and a lower adjusted annualized relapse rate (ARR) compared to IFN beta-1a-treated patients. DMF was well tolerated.

Dimethyl fumarate treatment shifts the immune environment toward an anti-inflammatory cell profile while maintaining protective humoral immunity

Erin E. Longbrake et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that lymphocyte decreases were maintained over the 96-week DMF treatment, while immunoglobulins remained stable. CD4 (+) and CD8 (+) T cells correlated highly with ALC, and adverse event rates were similar across ALC subgroups.

Characterisation of MS phenotypes across the age span using a novel data set integrating 34 clinical trials (NO.MS cohort): Age is a key contributor to presentation

Frank Dahlke et al.

Summary: The NO.MS data set contains information on over 35,000 patients and shows that disease activity and worsening differ across ages and phenotypes. Young patients benefit most from treatment, with disease activity highest in pediatric patients.

Descriptive Analysis of Real-World Data on Fingolimod Long-Term Treatment of Young Adult RRMS Patients

Tjalf Ziemssen et al.

Summary: The study found that young patients had lower disability scores compared to older patients at baseline but higher relapse rates, which significantly decreased in all age groups after 5 years of treatment. The proportion of patients with no clinical disease activity in year 4 varied among different age groups.

Effectiveness of Dimethyl Fumarate in Patients With Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis Switching After Suboptimal Response to Glatiramer Acetate, Including Patients With Early Multiple Sclerosis: Subgroup Analysis of RESPOND

Pavle Repovic et al.

Summary: This study found that dimethyl fumarate may be an effective treatment option for relapsing multiple sclerosis patients who experience suboptimal response to glatiramer acetate. In both first switch and early MS switch patients, most patients showed significant improvement in relapse rates and symptoms after 12 months of DMF treatment.
