Recent Developments:

1. Newly Approved & Updated Therapies
Ocrevus Zunovo (Ocrelizumab & Hyaluronidase): Approved by the FDA in September 2024, this is a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection version of the popular infusion Ocrevus. It cuts administration time from hours to just 10 minutes twice a year, significantly improving patient convenience while maintaining the same efficacy.
Tyruko (Natalizumab-sztn): A biosimilar to Tysabri, now available to provide a more affordable high-efficacy option for relapsing forms of MS.

2. Late-Stage Clinical Trial Breakthroughs
These therapies are in Phase 3 trials and are the closest to potential FDA approval.
BTK Inhibitors (The "Brain-Penetrant" Class)
Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitors are small molecules designed to cross the blood-brain barrier to target inflammation inside the brain, something current antibodies struggle to do well.
Fenebrutinib (Roche): In late 2025, Phase 3 results showed it significantly reduced relapses in Relapsing MS (RMS) and, crucially, slowed disability progression in Primary Progressive MS (PPMS). This is a major win, as few treatments work for PPMS.
Tolebrutinib (Sanofi): Results have been mixed. While it faced regulatory delays for relapsing forms due to liver safety concerns, it has shown promise in delaying disability accumulation in non-relapsing Secondary Progressive MS (nrSPMS), a group with very few options.
Frexalimab (Anti-CD40L)
Mechanism: A novel second-generation antibody that blocks the CD40-CD40L costimulatory pathway, effectively preventing T-cells and B-cells from "talking" to each other and activating the immune attack.
Status: After strong Phase 2 results showing an 89% reduction in lesions, it is now recruiting for massive global Phase 3 trials (FREXALT for RMS and FREVIVA for SPMS).

3. Emerging & Novel Approaches (Phase 1/2)
"Inverse Vaccines" (Immune Tolerance)
Unlike traditional vaccines that teach the immune system to attack, these "inverse vaccines" teach the immune system to ignore specific targets (like myelin), effectively stopping the autoimmune attack without suppressing the entire immune system.
Key Player: Anokion's KAN-101 has shown early success in teaching the liver to recognize myelin proteins as "safe," potentially offering a cure-like "immune reset."
CAR-T Cell Therapy
Borrowed from cancer treatment, this involves taking a patient's T-cells, engineering them to hunt down B-cells (CD19+), and infusing them back.
Status: Early trials (including at UCL and Columbia University) are testing this as a "one-and-done" immune reset for patients who don't respond to other drugs. Early data suggests it can deeply deplete B-cells in the brain.
Remyelination (Repairing the Damage)
Therapies that aim to regrow myelin rather than just stop attacks.
PIPE-307: A drug targeting the M1 receptor entered Phase 2 trials. It works by "unlocking" the brain's ability to produce new myelin-making cells.
ESI1: A preclinical breakthrough discovered in 2024 that mimics the "softness" of young brain tissue to encourage older oligodendrocyte cells to repair myelin sheaths.

4. Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Targeting
Following the landmark confirmation that EBV is the leading cause of MS, trials are now targeting the virus directly.
EBV Vaccines: Moderna has initiated the "Horizon" trial (Phase 2) in the UK and globally, testing an mRNA vaccine (mRNA-1195) in patients already diagnosed with MS to see if suppressing the virus stops disease progression.
Antivirals: The FIRMS-EBV trial is testing if established antivirals (like tenofovir) can reduce fatigue and disease activity by suppressing viral reactivation.

5. Biomarkers & Diagnosis (2025 Updates)
McDonald Criteria 2025: A major update to the diagnostic criteria is rolling out. It incorporates new MRI markers like the Central Vein Sign (CVS) and Paramagnetic Rim Lesions (PRL) to allow for earlier and more accurate diagnosis, distinguishing MS from mimics like migraines or small vessel disease.
Blood Tests (Liquid Biopsy):
NfL (Neurofilament Light Chain): Moving closer to standard clinical use to predict relapses before they happen.
Octave Bioscience: Received new funding in late 2025 to develop a "Disease Progression" blood test that uses AI to measure subtle worsening that MRI scans might miss.

Market Segmentation:

The Multiple Sclerosis Therapeutics Market is segmented based on drug class, route of administration, disease type, and end-user, enabling a comprehensive understanding of therapeutic demand across different patient groups.

By drug class, disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) take the lead. This category includes interferon-beta products, S1P receptor modulators, fumarates, monoclonal antibodies, and emerging gene-targeted therapies. These drugs are widely recognized for delaying disability progression and reducing inflammatory disease activity. Symptomatic therapies including muscle relaxants, mobility aids, and pain management drugs form an essential complementary segment that enhances daily functioning and quality of life.

Oral drugs have significantly changed MS treatment preferences, offering greater convenience and improved compliance compared to injectables. S1P modulators and fumarate-based therapies are key contributors in this category. Injectables and infusion-based biologics remain crucial, especially for aggressive or progressive MS where high-efficacy drugs such as anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies demonstrate strong clinical outcomes.

When assessed by disease type, Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS) is the most prevalent and thus represents the largest treatment segment. Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS) and Primary Progressive MS (PPMS) create increasing demand for advanced biologics and targeted therapies.

End-user segmentation is dominated by hospitals and specialized neurology centers, which provide comprehensive diagnostic, infusion, and long-term disease management services. Specialty clinics, followed by homecare settings for oral therapies, continue to gain significance.
