GLP1-RA Meets MS: Why, How, What’s Next

Moderator/Chair: Libby Levine, MSN, AGNP-BC, MSCN, Chair
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), from their historical development and mechanistic foundations to emerging applications in multiple sclerosis (MS) and practical clinical experience. Participants will gain an understanding of how GLP-1 RAs function, their potential neuroprotective and immunomodulatory effects, and the current state of preclinical and clinical research in MS. Real-world insights from prescribing GLP-1 RAs in MS patients will be shared, including observed outcomes, patient selection considerations, and strategies for integration into practice. By connecting basic science, translational research, and clinical experience, this course equips participants with the knowledge to critically evaluate the evolving role of GLP-1 RAs and apply these insights thoughtfully in MS care.
