Description:
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive disease. It is the most common neurological cause of disability among young adults, with a prevalence of approximately one million cases throughout the United States. Although there is still no cure for MS, many advances in MS treatment have arrived in recent years, allowing patients to manage these symptoms and improve their quality of life. Effective and timely treatment of MS can greatly improve the quality of life in MS patients. With the advancement and complexity of different treatment options, including therapies that have recently become available, managed care professionals are being challenged to make informed decisions in their organizations and provide the correct treatment options that are available to patients.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

• Examine challenges to patient adherence, dosing and quality of life in multiple sclerosis and adverse event management

• Review strategies to monitor and manage adverse events associated with newer therapies, including S1P therapies and anti-CD-20 monoclonal antibodies, in MS in order to improve patient adherence and quality of life

• Explore the role of subcutaneous administration methods in new and emerging therapies in MS

• Identify and develop strategies to overcome potential barriers that affect timely access of MS disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for patients through managed care organizations
