Brain Preservation and Cognition in MS: MRI Biomarkers, Early Awareness and the Role of S1P Receptor Modulators, a BMS-promotional Symposium Charcot 2022, highlights new MRI biomarkers of brain atrophy, the importance of early intervention on cognitive outcomes in MS and the role of S1P receptor modulators in MS.
Prof. Matilde Inglese reviews new MRI biomarkers and shows that these markers can demonstrate acute and chronic inflammation, tissue destruction and microstructural abnormalities in the brain and spinal cord of MS patients. She goes on to show that brain atrophy begins early in MS and continues throughout its course, that loss of deep gray matter is associated with disability accumulation, and that advanced MRI techniques provide novel information on microstructural brain pathology in MS.
Prof. Roberta Lanzillo provides an overview of early intervention with high-efficacy DMTs in MS care, showing that this can improve cognitive outcomes. Prof. Lanzillo reviews how cognitive impairment interferes with the performance of daily activities for patients with MS, and that thalamic volume is clearly associated with the risk of cognitive decline in MS.
The Moderator, Prof. Eleonora Cocco, reviews of how early ozanimod▼ use can provide benefits, especially in patients with preserved brain volume. Ozanimod can reduce MS relapses and up to 80% of patients continuously treated with ozanimod had low rates of whole brain volume loss after 6 years.1,2
A very interesting question and answer period completes the Symposium.
