Release Date: November 30, 2020
Expiration Date: November 30, 2021
Intended Audience:
Physicians and their teams providing care for patients with MS (PAs, NPs, nurses, pharmacists)
Accompanying this activity are resources to provide evidence-based guidance on necessary laboratory evaluations needed before initiating or switching DMTs, as well as a guide for evaluating treatment response and recognizing when a switch in therapy may be appropriate.
The expanding therapy landscape for multiple sclerosis (MS) includes multiple S1P-based disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) along with an abundance of data regarding their efficacy and safety, new requirements for pre-treatment testing and monitoring, and an enhanced need to engage patients in their care.
Tune into this webcast to hear leading MS experts share their perspectives on the latest advances in MS. Highlights include:
- Key data on current and emerging MS therapies and the integration of this evidence into clinical practice
- Case-based discussions and PDF tools that map out safe and effective navigation of DMT initiation and switching along with required assessments
- Practical strategies to engage in shared decision-making and counsel patients on their treatment plans
Learning Objectives
- Differentiate S1P-based disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for multiple sclerosis (MS) based on clinical evidence for their safety, adherence potential, and efficacy, including clinical data on relapses, MRI lesions, brain volume loss, and disability progression
- Apply evidence-based approaches for monitoring for insufficient response to therapy, disease worsening, and/or tolerability to support timely and appropriate testing and decision-making related to treatment escalation or switching
- Employ leading principles, tools, and processes for engaging patients with MS and their caregivers in personalized shared decision-making on and adherence to MS treatment plans
Agenda
- Evaluating the Latest Clinical Data on S1P Receptor Modulators in Multiple Sclerosis
- Case-Based Discussion: Safe and Effective DMT Switches and Required Assessments
- User-Friendly Tools for Clinical Practice
- Practical Strategies for Shared Decision-Making and Counseling Patients on Risks and Benefits of Different DMT Options Based on Current Evidence
This webinar is held in partnership with ACTRIMS and the The Canadian Network of MS clinics.
