The radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) represents the earliest detectable pre-clinical phase of multiple sclerosis (MS). This study evaluated impact therapeutic intervention in preventing first symptom manifestation at this stage disease spectrum.We conducted a multi-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled involving people with RIS. Individuals without clinical symptoms typical MS but incidental brain MRI anomalies consistent central nervous system (CNS) demyelination were...

Throughout the course of multiple sclerosis, gradually progressive neurologic impairment can occur, which has been called disability accrual. Current disease-modifying therapies for sclerosis have limited effects on accrual unrelated to relapses, is thought be partially caused by chronic, nonresolving neuroinflammation within central nervous system. Tolebrutinib an oral, brain-penetrant Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets myeloid cells (including microglia) and B in both...

Investigating the potential of myelin repair strategies in multiple sclerosis (MS) requires an understanding dynamics during lesion evolution. The objective this study is to longitudinally measure water fraction (MWF), MRI biomarker myelin, new MS lesions and identify factors that influence their subsequent content. Twenty-three patients were scanned with whole-brain Fast Acquisition Spiral Trajectory T2prep (FAST-T2) MWF mapping at baseline median follow-up 6 months. Eleven healthy controls...

The development of accurate prognoses in multiple sclerosis is difficult, as the disease characterized by heterogeneous patterns brain abnormalities that relate an unclear way to future impairments. Here, we use a statistical modeling approach determine if baseline pattern connectome disruption due T2-FLAIR lesions could predict patient's processing speed, measured using Symbol Digits Modality Test scores. Imaging data, demographics and scores were collected from 61 early relapsing remitting...
