Purpose of review: This review evaluates current and late-phase developing therapies for multiple sclerosis in regard to therapeutic efficacy and patient safety in light of recent published and presented observations from 2015.
Recent findings: We describe data that provide supportive evidence for comparisons of therapeutic efficacy of multiple sclerosis therapies and review available data on rare but serious adverse events associated with these therapies.
Summary: Serious adverse events that are sometimes rare and unpredictable may substantially alter current approaches to multiple sclerosis treatments. New therapies that have proved superior effects compared with older therapies will also impact multiple sclerosis treatment practice in the near future.
