Watch for Emails Announcing Reviews of New MS Drugs
The AAN and its Multiple Sclerosis Section, led by Section Chair Robert P. Lisak, MD, FAAN, are working with a task force including the MS Coalition to make neurologists and the public aware of the known benefits and risks of newly emerging, FDA-approved medications for multiple sclerosis. AAN members will be alerted by email when reports on new medications are posted on the MS Coalition website.
This task force—dubbed the Multiple Sclerosis Emerging Therapies Collaborative—has established a dedicated rapid-response website that will provide information on new therapies as they emerge. The content is tailored to both clinicians and the general public, to facilitate effective communication and medical decision making. The AAN and MS Coalition members all have a stake in ensuring their constituencies receive the most accurate drug information, given there are a large number of competing information sources.
