RealTalk MS

With more than 9,000 MS researchers and clinicians in attendance, the 2024 ECTRIMS meeting in Copenhagen was the largest MS research conference in the world.

During the meeting, I had an opportunity to talk with some of the best and brightest minds in MS research and clinical practice. This is your invitation to listen in on my ECTRIMS EXTRA conversation with Dr. Peter Calabresi.

Dr. Peter Calabresi is the Director of the Division of Neuroimmunology and the Director of the Multiple Sclerosis Center at Johns Hopkins Medicine. He is the principal investigator on several clinical trials and oversees research projects focused on developing new anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective therapies for MS.

At ECTRIMS, Dr. Calabresi co-chaired what was probably the most highly anticipated presentation at this year's conference: the unveiling of updated criteria for diagnosing MS.

The ECTRIMS conference can feel almost overwhelming. You find yourself among 9 or 10 thousand other attendees, trying to determine which of the more than 1700 scientific presentations you want to learn more about. It's both a marathon and a sprint that seem to be taking place simultaneously.

Kristine Werner Ozug is a member of the RealTalk MS team and a person who lives with MS. This week, Kristine shares her perspective on attending ECTRIMS for the first time.

At the conclusion of ECTRIMS, you can almost hear a collective sigh coming from all the attendees. It feels like you've crossed the finish line, but now the work of sorting and processing all that you've seen, heard, and read over what feels like a non-stop 72-hour blur actually begins.

Joining me to share his initial thoughts on the ECTRIMS news that caught his eye is the National MS Society's Executive Vice-President of Research, Dr. Bruce Bebo.

During the meeting, I had an opportunity to talk with some of the best and brightest minds in MS research and clinical practice. This is your invitation to listen in on my ECTRIMS EXTRA conversation with Dr. Fred Lublin.

Dr. Fred Lublin is the Director of the Corrine Goldsmith Dickinson Center for Multiple Sclerosis at Mount Sinai. He participated in the development of the very first disease-modifying therapy that was approved for MS. When we talk about relapsing-remitting MS, secondary-progressive MS, or primary-progressive MS, we're using the clinical course descriptions of MS that were developed and subsequently updated by Dr. Lublin and his colleagues.

At ECTRIMS, Dr. Lublin gave a presentation on the need to update the way we think about and talk about multiple sclerosis by, once again, updating those clinical course descriptors.

Living with MS is expensive. A recent study funded by the National MS Society found the average cost of living with MS in the United States is $88,487 a year. Even with insurance, that can turn out to be a heavy lift.

One thing you don't need is to be worrying about money while you're already worrying about MS. So, when I think about discussing budgeting and managing your personal finances when you're living with MS, I think we're really talking about preserving your quality of life.

Joining me with strategies for budgeting and managing debt when you're living with MS is the Senior Vice President of Membership and Media Relations at the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, Bruce McClary.

We'll also tell you about the updated Pathways to Cures Research Roadmap and the first ever global landscape analysis of MS research funding.

We're sharing very encouraging results from the Phase 2 open-label extension study of Fenebrutinib, an experimental BTK inhibitor.

We'll give you the details of a pilot study that demonstrated what may be a successful treatment for sexual dysfunction among men and women living with MS.

We'll tell you why middle-aged people with MS may want to consider resistance training.

And we'll tell you how to register for the National MS Society's Voting Without Barriers webinar.

Most of us know Medicare as health insurance for Americans who are 65 or older, but when they qualify for Social Security disability benefits, people younger than 65 automatically qualify for Medicare. Today, between 25 and 30% of the people living with MS are Medicare beneficiaries.

Whether you already have Medicare or you'll be signing up for Medicare in the future, getting the right coverage requires making some important choices.

Licensed Medicare Advisor Laquel Thomas joins me with tips, strategies, and explanations for successfully navigating Medicare and getting the coverage you need.

We're explaining the good news in the results from a Phase 3 clinical trial for Tolebrutinib, Sanofi's experimental oral BTK inhibitor. The trial showed that, compared to placebo, Tolebrutinib met the primary endpoint, delaying the onset of confirmed disability progression in people with non-relapsing secondary progressive MS.

Take My Hand is an Australian film based on the true story of Claire Jensz, a mother of three living in London who is diagnosed with MS at the peak of her high-powered career. Be sure to catch my conversation with Claire, Radha Mitchell, the film's star, and John Raftopoulos, the film's director.

We're sharing the details of a study that may have uncovered an underlying cause of MS and, perhaps, all autoimmune diseases.

We'll tell you about the results of a stem cell study that show MS may involve more than just immune cells.

And we'll give you what may be surprising details of a study that focused on how MS impacts the quality of life of fully ambulatory people living with mild MS symptoms.

Privacy Policy

If you're a regular listener, you know that I rely on the RealTalk MS listener community to let me know which topics you'd like to hear about on this podcast. A few years ago, in episode 264, listener Dawnia Baynes did a podcast takeover, and interviewed me. Since then, I've heard from a bunch of you who, for some reason, want to hear more about me. So, when listener Kyra Millich asked if she could interview me, it felt like it was time.

In today's episode, you'll find out what I like to do when I'm not doing this podcast, I'll share some of the most memorable moments in my life, you'll hear how and why I started RealTalk MS, and I hope you'll get to know me a little better.

You'll also hear about results from a study that show people with MS are far less likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease compared to people who don't have MS.

We'll tell you about a Phase 1 clinical trial for a CAR-T cell therapy for MS.

And you'll learn the details of a different Phase 1 clinical trial for a different CAR-T cell therapy for MS.

RealTalk MS Episode 365

Privacy Policy

Getting an MS diagnosis is not always the quick, straightforward process we'd like it to be. For some people, the process can drag on for years. But getting that diagnosis only happens when you and your primary care physician recognize that something's going on.

It might be a sudden vision issue. Maybe it's unexplained tingling in an arm or leg. Or maybe it's something more acute that gets your attention. A wide variety of signs could point to MS, but they could also point to other health conditions.

Dr. Leorah Freeman, Director of the Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology Center at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin, joins me this week to help us better understand the signs and symptoms of multiple sclerosis.

Just as COVID-19 viral activity is increasing across the United States, we're sharing the results of a study that should put your mind at ease and motivate you to get that COVID-19 booster vaccination when it becomes available next month.

We'll tell you about a Phase 1 clinical trial that's getting underway for a novel cell therapy that may be effective in stopping MS.

You'll hear about a grant from the National Institutes of Health that will fund a study on the fear of falling among people with MS.

The 16th annual Burgers to Beat MS fundraising event is taking place on August 22nd at A&W locations across Canada. We'll give you the details on how you can participate -- whether you happen to be in Canada or not!

For some people, getting in their car and heading for, well, anywhere represents freedom and independence. For others, it's a way to get to their jobs, get to their medical appointments, get the kids to school, and run necessary errands. MS can change all of that.

Occupational Therapist and Certified Driver Rehabilitation Specialist Jenny Nordine joins me to discuss how to preserve your independence while protecting yourself and the people around you when you're driving with MS.

You'll also meet Dr. Susan Seizer, a true difference-maker and one of the founders of the Mobility Aids Lending Library.
