Abstract Details

Determinants of Therapeutic Lag in Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis
P12 - Poster Session 12 (12:00 PM-1:00 PM)
9-002
To explore the associations of patient and disease characteristics with the duration of therapeutic lag for relapses and disability progression.
Therapeutic lag represents the delay from initiation of therapy to attainment of full treatment effect.  Understanding the determinants of therapeutic lag provides valuable information for personalised choice of therapy in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Data from MSBase, a multinational MS registry, and OFSEP, the French national registry, were used.  Patients diagnosed with MS, minimum 1-year exposure to MS treatment, minimum 3-year pre-treatment follow up and yearly review were included in the analysis. By studying incidence of relapses and 6-month confirmed disability progression, the duration of therapeutic lag was calculated by identifying the first local minimum of the first derivative after treatment start in subgroups stratified by patient and disease characteristics.  Pairwise analyses of univariate predictors were performed.  Combinations of determinants that consistently drove differences in therapeutic lag in pair by pair analyses were included in the final model.

Baseline EDSS, ARR and sex were associated with duration of therapeutic lag on disability progression in univariate and pairwise bivariable analyses.  In the final model, therapeutic lag was 27.8 weeks shorter in females with ARR<1 and EDSS>6 compared to those with EDSS>=6 (26.6, 18.2-34.9 vs 54.3, 47.2-61.5).  Baseline EDSS, ARR, sex and MS phenotype were associated with duration of therapeutic lag on relapses in univariate analyses.  Pairwise bivariable analyses of the pairs of determinants suggested that baseline EDSS, ARR and MS phenotype were independently associated with therapeutic lag.  In the final model, therapeutic lag was shortest in those with RRMS and EDSS<6 compared to the other represented groups.
We have utilised a novel method for the quantification of therapeutic lag in different patient groups.  Baseline EDSS and ARR are the most important determinants of therapeutic lag for both disability progression and relapses.
