Abstract
One of the disadvantages of currently available disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) for multiple sclerosis (MS) is their parenteral administration. Moreover, efficacy is only partial. Most patients treated with first-line DMDs do not remain relapse-free. There is a need for new oral drugs that are more effective than currently available compounds. Innovative oral drugs with new mechanisms of action showed promising results in clinical trials. One of these emerging drugs is BG00012 (BG-12), a fumaric acid ester (FAE). Its active agent, dimethyl fumarate had first been included in FAE treatments for psoriasis.
