Abstract
The patient is a right-handed White woman with relapsing-remitting MS diagnosed subsequent to left acute optic neuritis (AON). She described a previous transient episode of severe, electrical, and paroxysmal facial pain consistent with trigeminal neuralgia. Initial MRI demonstrated supratentorial

Objective To determine whether the punctuated administration of low-dose rituximab, temporally linked to B-cell hyperrepopulation (defined when the return of CD19+ B cells approximates 40%–50% of baseline levels as measured before alemtuzumab treatment inception), can mitigate alemtuzumab-associated secondary autoimmunity. Methods In this hypothesis-driven pilot study, 10 patients received low-dose rituximab (50–150 mg/m2), a chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, after either their first or se...

Extending the natalizumab interval after the 24th administration could reduce the risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). The objective is to evaluate the noninferiority of the efficacy of an extended interval dosing (EID) compared with the standard interval dosing (SID) of natalizumab. It is an observational, multicenter (14 Italian centers), retrospective cohort study, starting from the 24th natalizumab infusion to the loss of follow-up or 2 years after baseline. Patients wer...

Objective To use the large dataset from the Tysabri Outreach: Unified Commitment to Health (TOUCH) program to compare progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) risk with natalizumab extended interval dosing (EID) vs standard interval dosing (SID) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods This retrospective cohort study included anti-JC virus antibody-positive patients (n = 35,521) in the TOUCH database as of June 1, 2017. The effect of EID on PML risk was evaluated with 3 planned ...

Abstract Natalizumab is an effective treatment for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS), but treatment for >2 years is associated with an increased risk of opportunistic infection and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). For this reason, patients and physicians may consider discontinuing natalizumab therapy. This article reviews the evidence for the various therapeutic approaches that may be taken in such patients. Stopping therapy altogether is unlikely to be appropriate f...

Tumor necrosis factor–α (TNF-α) blockers are a popular therapeutic choice in a number of inflammatory diseases. Thus far, five TNF- α blockers have been approved for clinical use (etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab, golimumab. and certolizumab). Despite being considered relatively safe, serious side effects associated with immune suppression have been reported, including central and peripheral nervous system (CNS) demyelinating disorders. It is still elusive whether these events are mere coincid...

Background Natalizumab (NTZ), a monoclonal antibody to human α 4 β 1 /β 7 integrin, is an effective therapy for multiple sclerosis (MS), albeit associated with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). Clinicians have been extending the dose of infusions with a hypothesis of reducing PML risk. The aim of the study is to evaluate the clinical consequences of reducing NTZ frequency of infusion up to 8 weeks 5 days. Methods A retrospective chart review in 9 MS centres was performed in order...

Importance Infection with JC virus (JCV) may lead to development of demyelinating progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who are treated with natalizumab. Objective To determine whether mononuclear cells in circulation from MS patients treated with natalizumab harbor JCV DNA. Design, Setting, and Participants In this prospective investigation, we enrolled 49 MS patients from the Clinical Center for Multiple Sclerosis at The University of Texas Southwe...

OBJECTIVE: To establish whether etanercept, a TNF-α antagonist, is an alternative and effective treatment on facial nerve after crush injury. METHOD: Fifty-four rats underwent exposure of the left main trunk of the facial nerve followed by a standard crush injury. Animals were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, methylprednisolone-treated group, and etanercept-treated group. All these groups were divided into 2 subgroups; animals were sacrificed on the 4th day after facial crush injur...

Ivacaftor, an oral potentiator of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, has been shown to be efficacious in patients heterozygous for the G551D mutation in CFTR. This letter describes the effect of ivacaftor in a patient homozygous for this mutation.
