• Genetics• Environmental

Humanized Monoclonal Antibody Therapies – IV Infusions

• Rituximab (Rituxin®) – CD20 (B) cells;
• Alemtuzamab (Campath®)§
– CD52 (T+B cells, monocytes)• Daclizumab (Zenapax®)§
– CD25, CD40 ligand (T cells; NK cells)§ Not currently FDA approved
![Page 16: Multiple Sclerosis: Clinical Treatment and Current Research Walter Royal, III, MD Associate Professor of Neurology Maryland Center for Multiple Sclerosis.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dbd5503460f94ab023a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mechanisms of Action of Injectable Drugs
• Interferons (IM, SC)– Induction of Interferon-responsive genes
• Glatiramer acetate (SC)– ↑ numbers of suppressor cell phenotypes– Neuroprotection via BDNF induction (?)
• Monoclonal antibodies (IV)– Physical interactions → functional inhibition
• Oral agents– Inhibition by small molecules
![Page 17: Multiple Sclerosis: Clinical Treatment and Current Research Walter Royal, III, MD Associate Professor of Neurology Maryland Center for Multiple Sclerosis.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649dbd5503460f94ab023a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

What Works Best? • High vs Low Dose IFN-
– High dose was superior
• IFN- Low Dose vs Double-dose x 2– No difference
• IFN- vs Glatiramer acetate– No difference
• IFN- vs Glatiramer acetate vs IFN+GA– Results pending
• Approved drug as comparator– E.g., Natalizumab and fingolimod vs IFN- (natalizumab was
superior)

More Aggressive Therapies in MS: Efficacy at a Price
• Higher dose IFN-β: ↑Injection frequency; ↑ side effects (?)
• Natalizumab: PML• Rituximab: Rarer reports of PML • Alemtuzamab: ITP; Graves disease• S1P1 antagonists: cardiopulmonary, infectious• More potent immunomodulation → increased risk of
malignancy?

Progressive MS• No treatments available• Recent, current and pending studies
– Fingolamod® (FTY-720; PPMS)– MIS416 (used for pathogen-specific immunization)– Lipoic acid (neuroprotection)– Simvastatin (SPMS)– Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation
(autologous; SPMS)
