The third and final day of the 2026 ACTRIMS Forum began with a Symposium hosted by the European Charcot Foundation, titled Dyanmics in MS Across the Lifespan. Next, we transitioned to a session focused on Rethinking MS Clinical Course Descriptors, co-chaired by Kathy Smith. As someone who has lived with MS for over 20 years, Kathy brings a vital voice and a critical perspective to this topic. And I caught up with her immediately after the session to discuss a fundamental question: are the labels we currently use to describe MS still useful?

During the final and highly anticipated session of Day 3, Principal Investigators from four different clinical trials shared their results. Dr. Amit Bar-Or reported on two trials: first, the Week 12 results from MoonStone, the phase 2 clinical trial for Obexilimab. And then, returning to the podium to share the results of the Phase 3 Fentrepid study, which compared the BTK inhibitor fenebrutinib with Ocrevus among people with Primary Progressive MS. As you might imagine, I was looking forward to talking with Dr. Bar-Or directly following his presentation.
