Episode 425: The ECTRIMS 2025 Deep Dive with Dr. Bruce Bebo

Just about a month ago, 9,600 researchers, clinicians, and representatives from patient advocacy organizations gathered in Barcelona for the European Committee on Treatment and Research in MS annual scientific congress, better known as ECTRIMS, the largest MS research conference in the world.

Now that he's had an opportunity to review his notes and digest all of the science presented at ECTRIMS 2025, Dr. Bruce Bebo, the National MS Society's Executive Vice-President of Research, returns to the podcast to take us on a deep dive covering some of the most important research presented this year.

We're also talking about next-generation CAR T-cell therapy for MS, and we'll explain why it's such exciting news.

We're sharing details about a DNA-based therapy for overactive bladder that just received fast-track status from the FDA.

We'll tell you about a new effort to develop a simple blood test that will detect MS progression.

We have some news to share about the RealTalk MS app. And we want to remind you to check out our ECTRIMS Extra Conversations video playlist on the RealTalk MS YouTube channel!

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
