Beta Interferons and Glatiramer Acetate for Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
Clinical Criteria Subject: Beta Interferons and Glatiramer Acetate for Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis Document #: ING-CC-0014 Publish Date: 01/01/201909/23/2019 Status: Revised Last Review Date: 08/17/201808/16/2019 Table of Contents Overview Coding References Clinical criteria Document history Overview This document addresses the use of beta interferon agents and glatiramer acetate agents, injectable disease modifying therapies approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. Interferon beta-1a agents: • Avonex (interferon beta-1a) • Plegridy (peginterferon beta-1a) • Rebif (interferon beta-1a) Interferon beta-1b agents: • Betaseron (interferon beta-1b) • Extavia (interferon beta-1b) Glatiramer acetate agents: • Copaxone (glatiramer acetate) • Glatopa (glatiramer acetate) Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Common symptoms of the disease include fatigue, numbness, coordination and balance problems, bowel and bladder dysfunction, emotional and cognitive changes, spasticity, vision problems, dizziness, sexual dysfunction and pain. Multiple sclerosis can be subdivided into four phenotypes: clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), relapsing remitting (RRMS), primary progressive (PPMS) and secondary progressive (SPMS). Relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) is a general term for all relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis including CIS, RRMS and active SPMS. The treatment goal for multiple sclerosis is to prevent relapses and progressive worsening of the disease. Currently available disease- modifying therapies (DMT) are most effective for the relapsing-remitting form of multiple sclerosis and less effective for secondary progressive decline. DMT include injectable agents, infusion therapies and oral agents. The American Academy of Neurology (AAN) guidelines suggest starting disease-modifying therapy in individuals with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis with recent clinical relapses or MRI activity. -

Emerging Therapies Are Interesting and Exciting! But…
Goodbye Needles! M. Anthony Sofia, MD Assistant Professor of Medicine Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Oregon Health and Science University @AnthonySofiaMD Tuesday February 26 th, 2019 Disclosures • None 2 Disclaimer Emerging therapies are interesting and exciting! But… Many of the medications I will discuss are still in early clinical development. They are not FDA approved for these indications and studies are ongoing. Safety and efficacy still needs to be clarified and ultimately judged according to pivotal trial data prior to broad application in IBD.

A REVIEW OF MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS TREATMENTS: INTERFERON BETA, GLATIRAMER ACETATE, FINGOLIMOD, AND NATALIZUMAB Written by Ryan Golden Abstract Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s own immune system works to demyelinate the myelin sheaths in the central nervous system. The beginning of the review will concentrate on the history of MS while also describing how MS, the disease, differs from that of normal immune responses. The review then shifts to the four different stages of MS and how to differentiate between the stages, since the treatment options are often dependent on the stage of MS that the patient is in. -
