    Fluid biomarker and electrophysiological outcome measures for progressive MS trials

    No full text
    Progressive multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by insidious clinical worsening that is difficult to accurately quantify and predict. Biofluid markers and electrophysiological measures are potential candidate outcome measures in clinical trials, allowing the quantification of nervous damage occurring in the disease. Neurofilaments are highly specific neuronal proteins. They may have come closest to such applications by their higher concentrations repeatedly demonstrated in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in all stages of MS, during relapses, their responsiveness to disease-modifying treatments in relapsing and progressive MS and their associations with measures of inflammatory and degenerative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes. Digital single-molecule array (Simoa) technology improves accuracy of bioassays in the quantification of neurofilament light chain (NfL) in serum and plasma. NfL seems to mark a common final path of neuroaxonal injury independent of specific causal pathways. CSF and blood levels of NfL are highly correlated across various diseases including MS, suggesting that blood measurements may be useful in assessing response to treatment and predicting future disease activity. Other biomarkers like matrix metalloproteinases, chemokines, or neurotrophic factors have not been studied to a similar extent. Such measures, especially in blood, need further validation to enter the trial arena or clinical practice. The broadening armamentarium of highly sensitive assay technologies in the future may shed even more light on patient heterogeneity and mechanisms leading to disability in MS. Evoked potentials (EPs) are used in clinical practice to measure central conduction of central sensorimotor pathways. They correlate with and predict the severity of clinical involvement of their corresponding function. Their validation for use in multicenter studies is still lacking, with the exception of visual EPs. If further validated, EPs and fluid biomarkers would represent useful outcome measures for clinical trials, being related to specific mechanisms of the ongoing pathologic changes. </jats:p

    Blood and CSF biomarkers for multiple sclerosis: emerging clinical applications

    No full text
    Neurofilament light chain (NfL), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), chitinase-3-like protein 1 (CHI3L1), and other protein assays are being developed as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers in multiple sclerosis. An increase in NfL concentrations reflects axonal damage resulting from the acute new inflammatory disease activity that occurs during a relapse. NfL concentrations can also reflect the occurrence of new MRI lesions. GFAP concentrations are increased in people with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, and GFAP is an emerging biomarker of progression independent of relapses. CHI3L1 is an emerging biomarker associated with progression independent of relapse activity and several MRI lesion types, including paramagnetic rim lesions. Some biomarkers, particularly NfL, can help monitoring treatment response, and combinations of multivariate biomarkers provide additional accuracy in specific clinical scenarios. In multiple sclerosis, fluid-based biomarkers are quickly emerging as instruments for clinical monitoring of disease course and patients' response to treatment
