Abstract:
:The most relevant data presented at the 29th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS), held in October 2013 in Denmark, were summarised at the sixth edition of the Post-ECTRIMS Expert Meeting held in Madrid in October 2013, resulting in this review, which is being published in three parts. This third part of the Post-ECTRIMS review discusses the effects of immunomodulatory therapy on the natural history of multiple sclerosis, with special attention to the assessment of long-term effects and the use of historical controls as an alternative to randomised trials compared with placebo. This article contains possible future therapeutic strategies to be tested in experimental models and discusses clinical trials that are underway and future treatments. It also summarises the results of recent studies of disease-modifying treatments and developments in symptom management. Briefly, on the horizon are many drugs with different mechanisms of action, although new strategies and treatment algorithms are needed, as are new biomarkers and assessment measures of secondary progression and long-term records to assess safety. As for the symptomatic treatment of the disease, the proposal is a personalised treatment plan and a multidisciplinary approach to improve the quality of life of patients. TITLE:Revision de las novedades presentadas en el XXIX Congreso del Comite Europeo para el Tratamiento e Investigacion en Esclerosis Multiple (ECTRIMS) (III). :Los datos mas relevantes presentados en la XXIX edicion del Congreso del Comite Europeo para el Tratamiento e Investigacion en Esclerosis Multiple (ECTRIMS), celebrado en octubre de 2013 en Dinamarca, se han resumido en la sexta edicion de la Reunion de Expertos Post-ECTRIMS celebrada en Madrid en octubre de 2013, fruto de la cual nace esta revision, que se publica en tres partes. Esta tercera parte de la revision Post-ECTRIMS aborda los efectos del tratamiento inmunomodulador en la historia natural de la esclerosis multiple, con especial atencion a la valoracion del efecto a largo plazo y al uso de controles historicos como alternativa a los estudios aleatorizados comparados con placebo. Este articulo recoge posibles estrategias terapeuticas futuras que pasan por los modelos experimentales, y expone los ensayos clinicos en marcha y futuros tratamientos. Asimismo, resume los resultados de los ultimos estudios de los tratamientos modificadores de la enfermedad y las novedades en el manejo sintomatico. Brevemente, en el horizonte, hay muchos farmacos con diferentes mecanismos de accion, aunque son necesarias nuevas estrategias y algoritmos terapeuticos, biomarcadores y nuevas medidas de evaluacion de la progresion secundaria, y registros a largo plazo para evaluar la seguridad. En cuanto al tratamiento sintomatico de la enfermedad, se apuesta por un plan personalizado de tratamiento y una aproximacion multidisciplinar, de cara a mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes.
