    Another oral therapy for RRMS, active SPMS and CIS has been FDA approved.

    Is anyone on this drug? My neuro threw this out to me when discussing treatment options after a flare-up and new lesions. It is so new that it is hard to find any information on it.

      Hi sewhappy

      This is some new info about Zeposia:

      Zeposia Still Prevents Relapses in Relapsing MS Patients After 3 Years, Trial Data Show

      Zeposia (ozanimod) oral capsules continue to safely and effectively prevent relapses and disability progression in people with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), according to three-year data from a Phase 3 extension clinical trial.

      “Gaining insight into long-term therapeutic outcomes can enable clinicians to identify the most appropriate treatment approach for their multiple sclerosis patients,” Bruce Cree, MD, PhD, said in a press release. Cree is the trial’s investigator and clinical research director at University of California San Francisco (UCSF) MS Center,

      “The DAYBREAK trial provides us with important context regarding the longer-term efficacy and safety profile of Zeposia,” added Cree, who also is a professor of clinical neurology at UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences.
