Treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis with vidofludimus
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11877994B2) discloses a method for treating relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in human patients. The method involves orally administering a specific compound, 2-({3-fluoro-3'-methoxy-[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-yl}carbamoyl)cyclopent-1-ene-1-carboxylic acid or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate, at a daily dose ranging from 10 mg to 45 mg. This treatment aims to alleviate symptoms associated with the condition and improve various aspects such as reducing relapse rate, disability accumulation, fatigue levels, and MRI-monitored disease activity, among others.
Furthermore, the patent claims that the administration of the compound can be effective as monotherapy or as adjunct therapy with other multiple sclerosis treatments like interferon beta, glatiramer acetate, or ocrelizumab. The method is also said to provide neuroprotection to patients by increasing the time to confirmed disease progression, reducing brain atrophy, and improving overall health. The compound can be administered in the form of a tablet or capsule, with the daily dose calculated based on the weight of the specific compound, offering a potentially promising approach to managing relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.
