Today’s interview on immunotherapy for MS marks the start of the series on disease-modifying therapies. It is also episode 250 for the German podcast and I translated it into English. I have once again invited Prof. Dr. Tjalf Ziemssen, who is one of the most committed MS experts and, among other things, initiated the Multiple Sclerosis Management Master’s program in German and English, which I myself have been attending since August 2022. Thanks to this very well-founded study program, I have gained enough expertise to be able to pass on my knowledge of the therapies to you.

Prof. Ziemssen answers important questions about the procedure, the selection and why it is so important to appreciate it when you see nothing in MS, when you manage to achieve disease remission. We also talk about why it is sometimes more important to move quickly into preventative therapy rather than focusing on rehabilitation and relapse treatment first. A brief detour leads to generics and biosimilars, which are increasingly playing a role in the drug landscape. We talk about how important it is to prevent MS activities as early as possible, what is involved in good monitoring and how patients are becoming more actively involved in all processes, as it is ultimately about our quality of life.
