"Advancements in Biomarkers, Cow's Milk Research, and EBV Vaccine Development Unveiled in MS News"

Research suggests that some individuals diagnosed with MS may actually have a disease resembling MS but different from it, as a specific biomarker has been found in a small percentage of MS patients. Additionally, a study indicates that cow milk proteins may trigger immune responses associated with MS, while plant-based milks do not. Furthermore, ongoing research is exploring the development of an EBV vaccine, as there is a link between EBV and MS. A potential vaccine targeting both active and latent forms of the virus has shown promising results in mice.

Updates on EBV vaccine trial, DMT costs, and Mavenclad in MS news.

EBViously plans to bring its candidate vaccine against the Epstein-Barr virus into clinical trials starting in 2024, which could reduce the incidence of MS. A study found that the costs of infusible DMTs, Ocrevus, Tysabri, and Lemtrada, accounted for more than three-quarters of the total costs, and controlling price markups for medications could help limit healthcare costs for patients. A real-world data study says the benefits of Mavenclad were sustained for up to 15 years after its last treatment course in people with relapsing MS. The FDA has put a partial hold on trials of evobrutinib in MS after two patients in Phase 3 clinical trials were found to have elevations in their liver enzymes.
