Preventing end-organ damage: the new therapeutic target in MS. #MSBlog #MSResearch

"I am in Sorrento, Italy, speaking at Giancarlo Comi's annual Top Seminars MS meeting; Sorrento is beautiful. Unfortunately, I arrived at 23h30 last night and have to leave at 14h30 this afternoon. The following is the programme. I was asked to speak on biomarkers and clinical outcomes. I decided to use the talk to show how we will be incorporating biomarkers (brain atrophy and spinal fluid neurofilament levels) into clinical practice to treat-2-target of preventing end-organ damage. The latter is a new aim and will rely in incorporating brain atrophy and spinal fluid neurofilament levels into the definition of NEDA. I use my renal analogy of protecting the kidney and renal function to make the point that we need to protect the brain. In other words we need to adopt the treatment philosophy nephrologists have evolved to treat kidney disease, for the brain. In other words we need zero tolerance when it comes to brain damage."
