5. proposed explanations
• wrong pathology
• wrong drugs – inadequately anti-inflammatory
• wrong time – too late
• wrong place – limited CNS penetration
6. INFORMS
• n=970
• initially fingolimod 0.5mg,
1.25mg and PBO
• 1.25mg dose dropped

9. challenging the dichotomy
*Activity determined by clinical relapses and/or MRI activity (contrast-enhancing lesions; new or unequivocally enlarging T2 lesions assessed at least annually);
if assessments are not available, activity is “indeterminate.” **CIS, if subsequently clinically active and fulfilling current multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnostic criteria,
becomes relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS).

56. conclusions
• we might already be treating progressive disease within RRMS
• first principles suggest we need to treat early
• we should expect a lag in response
• we need to look in areas where response is possible
• there is encouragement for
• anti-inflammatory drugs – already approved
• neuroprotective drugs
• remyelinating/ restorative strategies
• future in combination therapies?
• don’t forget the basics
