Bristol Myers Squibb said Friday new analyses from two Phase 3
trials of Zeposia showed early use of the treatment demonstrated
cognitive benefits in people with relapsing multiple sclerosis, a
disease in which the immune system attacks the protective covering
of nerves.
The biopharmaceutical product developer said the greatest effect
from the demonstrated cognitive benefits were seen in people with
high thalamic volume, supporting an association between preserved
brain volume and improved long-term cognitive outcomes.
Zeposia was well tolerated with more than 80% of people who
started the Phase 3 SUNBEAM trial remaining on continuous therapy
through 48 months of the Phase 3 DAYBREAK OLE study, Bristol Myers
Squibb said.
