  • Is it hype or hope? The Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitors have been purported to benefit "smouldering" multiple sclerosis. In this video, I explain how drugs like masitinib, tolebrutinib, evobrutinib, and fenebrutinib work. We review the side effects and data from clinical trials.

    I have been fortunate to study with in my field (music) with some world class innovators. They not only passed on knowledge and skills, but also more inspired me and in a sense made me smarter or more spongelike/receptive and thirstier for knowledge.
    The realities of the universe are limitless and the status quo and existing arsenal at any time must be constantly be re-born and re-discovered. If a music creator is in the zone ANY moment offers new possibilities the well never runs dry. It should be no different in other fields.
    Thank you good Dr. Brandon Beaber for delivering this and other videos which explain, the gist , the details, the caveats & confounders, help us (MSers) be inspired more spongelike students.
    The being hopeful part is ultimately in our personal domain and so, your lack of affectation (though u r passionate and fearless) is appropriate I think for many of us fighting MS whoin the end need to have a positive psychological visualization in bettering our health through the intangible faith like x-factor (whether we are Darwinians, or scripturists or whatever stripe).
    My HSCT at Ruiz happens this Sept 2023 in Puebla. I didn't have slowed progression on B cell depletion. I'm 59 with PPMS, and this HSCT is not a slam-dunk but I've heard from many (even those with PPMS some even older than me) who have had their progression halted. I'm still with out cane and performing music live and in the studios but progression is not halting, so endless thanks for this and all your work.

    Hey Doc!
    Thank you for the great content as always!
    I was diagnosed with probable MS after my first attack of ascending numbness up to right around my chest + positive Lhermitte’s. MRI showed 12-14 small lesions in the brain ( some enhancing ) and one lesion in the cervical spine. After 1 week of Solumedrol, my CSF came back positive for Lyme (elisa) and they started me on Ceftriaxone for 3 weeks. Everything resolved within 2 months except a bit of Lhermitte’s and internal tremors after running/walking.
    3 years fastforward, I had another attack - exact same symptoms but this time I took no medication and it resolved within 3 months . (No change in my MRI of head and cervix)
    My neuro prescribed hypothalamus phospholipids alongside high dose B1+6+12 shots for 10 days due to my reluctance to start on DMDs.
    I understand you cannot provide medical advice but any comments/thoughts would be highly appreciated! I am 26 male and very worried for my health!
    Please, let me know if you provide paid online consultations! I would so love for you to be my neuro! I live in Azerbaijan and we have no MS specialists here.

    • @DrBrandonBeaber

      PIRA is strongly associated with progressive disability in SPMS and PPMS. Here is a video on PIRA: czcams.com/video/duwSGmbHa0E/video.html In my opinion, SPMS and PPMS are the same disease as explained here: czcams.com/video/OboOmXJUdcs/video.html

    Thank you for this information! I wasn't able to join a BTKi trial because my lymphocyte count was just under the requirement after 9 years on Gilenya. I've had MS for 24 years and I'm looking forward to BTKi or other therapies that will target smoldering MS. I'd love to learn more about how infections may activate MS and induce activity. Last year after a mild case of COVID-19, my MRI showed an enhancing lesion for the first time in more than 12 years, though I wasn't having specific symptoms of a relapse.

I was overwhelmed and had a few days to decide. So I decided to take Kesimpta. Only time will tell if I will regret my decision.

  • @lindesayirvine9677
    @lindesayirvine9677 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Thanks doc. Very interesting and informative, though some of the science does go over my head. Do all the BTKIs put lots of pressure on the liver? I was turned away from one phase I/II trial because I take another med for a diff disease that leaves the body via the liver and occasionally causes secondary bother. They seem to be 'where it's at' for pharma at the moment and I would hope one day to give them a go.

  • @stonz42
    @stonz42 Před 11 měsíci +2

    Thanks for another great video - I'm currently on Ocrevus (10 months in) and it's working well so far without any significant side effects. I'm very happy to continue on it. However, I'd consider switching to a BTKI because of the long term risks of immunosuppression. I'm hoping the longer term data shows promise.
    In your opinion, do you think patients on b-cell depleaters would have an easy transition to a BTKI based on their modes of action? I had a very easy switch from Tysabri to Ocrevus with no side effects or relapses.

    • @DrBrandonBeaber
      @DrBrandonBeaber  Před 11 měsíci +2

      The switch from Tysabri to b-cell depleters is very well-studied. There may be some risk in starting a BTK inhibitor while the b-cells are still depleted. We would probably find out through observational studies, and some doctors will probably advise waiting until there is some repletion of b-lymphocytes at first.

    Are these paramagnetic rim lesions also called 'black holes'? Because they did show up in my last MRI. I'm only 31, following the OMS program for 4 years now and I'm on Tysabri for 3 years. My symptoms didn't really get worse over the past years but those 'black holes' related to an ongoing silent inflammation leaves me concerned.

    @cj_1986 Před 11 měsíci +1

    So my thoughts on BTKs. They might be best for those with no active lesions and NEIDA as if they do penetrate CNS it might dramatically impact SAW vs current DMTs. From the sounds of things someone with active disease might still want Tysabri, b cell depleters or IRT to calm the inflammation and then switch to a BTK.

    • @DrBrandonBeaber

Ive been in a wheelchair for 2 months now because i havent been able to take steroids and the infections lead to ths horrible relapse. Do relapses from infections lead to permanent disability?

      I have a playlist related to Dr. Terry Wahls: czcams.com/video/GTC9oBqtc4g/video.html I am not familiar with Pam Bartha, but there is actually evidence that MS is more common in areas with the parasite burden is lower.

    During HSCT (CY 200mg/kg+ATG) I was told that it had 'wiped out' both the innate and adaptive immune systems. Do you know if there is a rationale for using BTKi after HSCT? Thanks!

    • @DrBrandonBeaber
      @DrBrandonBeaber  Před 11 měsíci

      Needless to say, there is not definitive answer to your question, but if someone has progressive MS after HSCT and a BTKI is shown to be effective in progressive MS, I don't see why not. By the way, Cyclophosphamide 200mg/kg is generally speaking non-myeloablative and may preserve cells of the innate immune system such as neutrophils.

    How ARE the clinical trials going?? When ARE BTK Inhibitors expected to be authorized for use? My neurologist at Hadassah claims that they're not proving themselves as effective as was hoped. ☹️ And I am EXACTLY the candidate this was geared towards - older, late diagnosis, PPMS, insidious PIRA (= Progression IRrespective of Anything). 😝

    I hate that “smouldering” has become the word to use. My disability is continuously worsening. I’m approaching 8 years since diagnosis and my EDSS (self-assessed) has kind of gone up one pt. each year (approaching year 8). As if the word “sclerosis” isn’t bad enough, to imagine my body smouldering is so anxiety-inducing.

    Doctor, I don't understand how a study can be open label and double blind at the same time? Can you please explain this to me because I'm currently in the process of joining an "open label" study related to a BTK inhibitor vs Aubagio?

    • @DrBrandonBeaber
      @DrBrandonBeaber  Před 9 měsíci

      If it is "open label," the treatment is known to the participants, so it is not blind. This must be a miscommunication. Do you have a link to the clinicaltrials.gov site?

      I mean, when you talked about the clinical trial with Evobrutinib vs placebo vs Tecfidera you said that it was a double blind study and then you said that it was open label (it says so in the description too), in the 14th minute of this video. Was that a mistake or am I misunderstanding something?

    Currently on Ocrevus! I would be interested if I had access to MRI data that shows if I have indications of smoldering (though I suspect I do). It’s frustrating as a patient to make vital choices about drug choice based on incomplete (but theoretically obtainable) personal health information. It’s like throwing a dart at a board with your eyes closed …but the outcome affects your whole life.
