eMultipleSclerosis Review

As the number of new MS therapies continues to grow, so does the uncertainty about which management approach — escalation or highly effective disease-modifying therapy — is best for each patient. What are the patient-specific factors that indicate the most appropriate DMT selection? What’s known about the potential longer-term risks associated with highly effective therapies? 

That’s the focus of our discussion with Dr. Yujie Wang from the University of Washington and Johns Hopkins University, and Dr. Anne Damian-Yacoub from Johns Hopkins University in this eMultipleSclerosis Review podcast.

Selecting the most appropriate Disease Modifying Therapy (DMT) is becoming more complicated for patients with MS and clinicians who treat them. Newer approaches and newer agents are altering the benefit/risk equation, and making the question of which treatment is most appropriate for which patient more difficult to answer. 

That’s the focus of our discussion with Dr. Erin Longbrake, Assistant Professor of Neurology and Director of the Multiple Sclerosis Fellowship Program at Yale University, in this eMultipleSclerosis Review podcast.

In this eMultipleSclerosis Review Podcast, Dr. Bardia Nourbakhsh from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine provides clinical insight into reducing the disease burden of these common symptoms.
