Episode 149: A Biomarker to Predict MS Progression with Dr. Robert Fox and Caroline Sincock

The International Progressive MS Alliance is about to publish a paper that recommends advancing research on a specific biomarker to predict MS progression, and we're getting a pre-publication preview of what that paper is all about. My guests are Dr. Robert Fox, a neurologist and Vice-Chair for Research at the Cleveland Clinic Neurological Institute, and Caroline Sincock, who lives with progressive MS. Both Doctor Fox and Caroline are members of the International Progressive MS Alliance Scientific Steering Committee and are among the authors of the new paper that we're going to preview. We're also talking about the results of a study that show how increasing the energy in cells damaged by demyelination may stop MS progression. We'll tell you why Mayzent failed to gain approval to treat active secondary progressive MS in England. We'll introduce you to the winner of the first Novartis Innovation Prize for Assistive Tech for Multiple Sclerosis. And we'll discuss study results that show that a protein in the blood called neurofilament light chain may predict MS progression. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
