"DMT Survey, Keto Diet, and Gilenya Generic: MS News Highlights"

A survey of neurologists in the U.S. rates Kesimpta, Ocrevus, and Briumvi as the best disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The ketogenic diet has shown potential benefits for people with RRMS, including reduced body fat, improved symptoms, and increased exercise capacity, but adherence can be challenging. A real-world study in Turkey suggests that a generic version of Gilenya is safe and effective, although long-term data is needed to maintain confidence in generic MS treatments.

Estriol Hormone Shows Promise in Treating Multiple Sclerosis.

A microRNA called miR-548a-3p may help to identify people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who will reach no evidence of disease activity (NEDA-3) after treatment with Gilenya. Levels of this molecule after six months of treatment were significantly higher in patients who ended up attaining NEDA-3 at 24 months. Researchers identified 247 genes that were likely targets of miR-548a-3p. The study provides a new biomarker for treatment response in patients with MS under Gilenya treatment and opens the door for future research unraveling the functional role of miR-548a-3p in Gilenya-treated MS patients.
