Statement of Need
| |
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is classically a chronic neurologic disease characterized by attacks of focal neurological deficits secondary to
inflammatory, demyelinating plaque(s). While inflammation is a hallmark of the disease, there is increasing evidence of a degenerative component.
Historically, multiple sclerosis has been divided into three subtypes: relapsing remitting (RRMS), primary progressive (PPMS), and secondary
progressive (SPMS). Collectively termed progressive multiple sclerosis, both primary and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis constitute 15 to
40% of the total population of patients with multiple sclerosis. | | | A distinction between the subtypes of multiple sclerosis first appears in the modern literature in
1952, followed by the first treatment failure in 1973. Despite the first FDA-approved treatments for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis
appearing in 1993, history is studded with numerous negative clinical trials for progressive MS. In 2000, mitoxantrone received FDA approval for
progressive multiple sclerosis, but longitudinal data eventually prompted the 2018 AAN Recommendation against its general use. With multiple
therapies approved for treatment of progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, a new chapter in the fight against MS starts; now more than ever
there is a need to distinguish the subtypes of multiple sclerosis for appropriate evaluation and treatment. | | | Intended Audience | | This activity is intended to meet the educational needs of clinicians treating patients with
MS. | | |

| | | Disclosure of Commercial Interest: | As an organization accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Office of Continuing Medical Education (UTSW CME) requires that the content of CME activities and related materials provide balance, independence, objectivity, and scientific rigor. Planning must be free of the influence or control of a commercial entity, and promote improvements or quality in healthcare. All persons in the position to control the content of an education activity are required to disclose all relevant financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 12 months with any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on patients.
The ACCME defines “relevant financial relationships” as financial relationships in any amount occurring within the past 12 months that create a conflict of interest. The UTSW Office of CME has implemented a mechanism to identify and resolve all conflicts of interest prior to the activity. The intent of this policy is to identify potential conflicts of interest so participants can form their own judgments with full disclosure of the facts. Participants will evaluate whether the speaker’s outside interests reflect a possible bias in the planning or presentation of the activity.
