3 Objectives At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to: Describe the clinical and radiological characteristics of progressive versus relapsing MS. Describe the impact of relapses and DMT on the course of progressive MS. Discuss emerging treatments for progressive MS.

4 Progressive MS What is progressive MS?

7 Progressive MS: definitions Schumacher 1965 slow or step-wise progression of signs and symptoms, over a period of at least 6 months Poser 1983 steady progression has taken place for at least 6 months, and evidence for [other CNS] involvement should not have been present at the time paraparesis first appeared McDonald 2001 insidious neurological progression suggestive of MS dissemination in space (MRI +/- VEP) continued progression for 1 year positive CSF Schumacher et al, Ann NY Acad Sci 1965 Poser et al, Ann Neurol 1983 McDonald et al, Ann Neurol 2001

8 Progressive MS: definitions McDonald 2005 insidious neurological progression suggestive of MS 1 year of disease progression two of the following + brain MRI, + spinal cord MRI, + CSF McDonald 2010 insidious neurological progression suggestive of MS same as 2005, with less strict MRI criteria McDonald year of disability progression independent of clinical relapse two of the following (same as 2010) Polman et al, Ann Neurol 2005 Polman et al, Ann Neurol 2011 Thompson et al, Lancet Neurol 2018

9 Progressive MS: definitions Progressive disease course insidious accumulation of neurologic deficits independent of relapses and MRI activity Progression of disability insidious accumulation independent of relapses stepwise accumulation from relapses Weinshenker et al, Brain 1989; Trojano et al, JNNP 1995 Kantarci et al, Neurology 1998; Confavreux et al, Brain 2006 Tutuncu et al, MSJ 2012
