About this webinar
Relapsing-remitting. Primary Progressive. Secondary Progressive. These are the primary descriptions used to define the various stages of multiple sclerosis. But what would happen if we moved away from such purely clinical descriptions, creating instead a new system based on underlying biology, rather than how the disease appears clinically?
In this ECTRIMS NeuroWebinar, an international panel of experts discuss their newly proposed “mechanism-driven” framework recently published in Lancet Neurology. The framework – developed under the auspices of the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS, a group jointly sponsored by ECTRIMS and the US National MS Society – aims to better describe the disease course across the lifespan and lays the future groundwork for more personalised treatment options for people with MS.
