Neurologists Indu Subramanian and Lorraine Kalia discuss how progress in disease-modifying therapies for multiple sclerosis can inform treatment and management of Parkinson’s disease.
Hi, everyone. Welcome to Medscape. I'm so excited to have my friend and colleague, Prof Lorraine Kalia, join us today to talk about a very cool topic: what we can learn from studies and therapies, and how we can maybe translate that to some of the problems that we've been having in the Parkinson's world.
I'll often use the MS example to demonstrate that actually there is much that can be done in the neurologic space and there's been a lot of successes in MS. I think we found common ground for one thing. I think it's fair to say that MS has done remarkably well at treating inflammation. All of their drugs are based on that, and they will recognize that they have challenges in terms of treating the neurodegenerative part of their condition.
The other commonality between the two is this concept of earlier disease. We have our prodromal Parkinson's disease and MS has their radiologically isolated syndrome. Up until now, logically, it has made sense to us that we should treat earlier in Parkinson's disease, and that will likely give us better successes.
