This time, I will present some studies on new treatment options for MS that show promising results and were presented at ECTRIMS 2024. Some candidates are not that new, such as high-dose vitamin D, but the key here is the long-term observation of a large number of MS patients under clearly defined conditions. Furthermore, there are engineered extracellular vesicles (EVs), CAR-T cell therapies and CD40L inhibitors such as frexalimab. These therapies represent a shift towards targeted treatments that aim to modulate the immune system in a more precise way, without the severe side effects of current medications. It’s about the research behind these novel approaches, their potential benefits, and the possibility of achieving better outcomes for patients, especially in the progressive stages of the disease. Listen to the episode or read the post to stay up to date on how these innovations could change the future of MS treatment.
