Corticosteroids treatment.

Abstract:

:Corticosteroids (Cs) are widely used for treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) acute relapses because of the potent immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties. As for patients with relapsing-remitting (RR) MS, short-term administrations of Cs markedly less severity of symptoms and promote faster recovery of clinical attacks. Chronic administrations of Cs significantly diminish the formation of T1 hypointense lesions and the progression of brain atrophy. As for patients with secondary progressive MS treatment with Cs delays the time to onset of sustained disability. Finally the association between methylprednisolone and interferon beta (IFNbeta) leads the recovery of active lesions at greater extent and reduces the formation of neutralizing antibodies (NABs) against IFNbeta in patients with RRMS.

  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: lessons in trial design from recent trials.

    abstract::The recent history of clinical trials in ALS is marked by a great diversity in trial design. This has limited the comparability of the trial results, and has resulted in intense discussions about which parameters should or should not be evaluated when testing a new drug for ALS. This article discusses, without any cla...
