About this webinar
The use of highly effective treatments with strong anti-inflammatory activity from the early stages of multiple sclerosis (MS) has unveiled the concept of progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA). Witnessed in both progressive and relapsing forms of MS, it refers to an accumulation of disability independent of relapse-associated worsening (RAW), and related to inflammatory mechanisms. But what do we really know about the phenomenon, and how it fits into the complex jigsaw of MS care?
In this webinar, our panel of experts will discuss the growing evidence base, the latest research on and around PIRA, and how they expect it to affect best clinical practice.
