COMORBIDITIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS INFLUENCING MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

18 STATE OF THE ARTTH

18TH STATE OF THE ART 3 | Lucerne, 30th January 2016

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Swiss Multiple Sclerosis Society and its Scientifi c Advisory Board it is our ple-asure to invite you to the 18th State of the Art Symposium.

Recent epidemiological studies demonstrate that in addition to genetic factors environmental factors infl uence susceptibility to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and might additionally infl uence the disease course. The plenary morning session of the 18th State of the Art Symposium en-titled «Comorbidities and Environmental Factors infl uencing Multiple Sclerosis» is thus to a large degree dedicated to this topic. Four internationally well-known experts have accepted our invitation and will present recent advances in this fi eld. Tomas Olsson will highlight how envi-ronmental factors in combination with MS risk genes might infl uence MS in individual patients. Matthias Mehling will address the eff ects of immunomodulatory therapies on vaccinations in MS patients, but also touch upon the risk of developing MS following a vaccination. In addition Kerstin Hellwig will report on the infl uence of pregnancy and oestrogens, while Joost Smol-ders will discuss the role of vitamin D on the course of MS. Th e morning will continue with an update on the Swiss MS Registry and the Swiss MS Cohort Study provided by Viktor von Wyl and Jens Kuhle, and will conclude with a presentation of Ludwig Kappos on the changing treat-ment algorithms of MS integrating the new drugs on the market.

Th e aft ernoon session, with two sets of two parallel workshops, will bring to discussion topics relevant in daily practice. Th e speakers will show the Impact of PML Risk in the treatment of MS (workshop A), explain the benefi t of Biomarkers in MS disease course and treatment per-sonalization (workshop B), highlight agents that might promote Neuroprotection (workshop C) and discuss the relevance of measuring Brain Atrophy in clinical practice (workshop D).

Updated information about the Symposium can be found on www.ms-state-of-the-art.ch

In the name of the organisers and speakers, we sincerely hope that the programme meets with your interest and that you will be able to attend and actively take part in the discussions.

We wish you an interesting symposium.

Multiple sclerosis is a common neurological disease mainly affecting young women in t heir reproductive age. Why the susceptibility for most autoimmune diseases such as MS is higher in women than in men is not completely understood. Interestingly, the risk of developing MS seems to be increasing in females during the last few decades. Th s timespan is too short to explain the increase by genetic factors. Environmental factors (fewer children, more smoking amongst women, exogen hormonal factors, diet?) might play a role. The course of MS i s also influenced by hormonal factors. Most well known is the powerful reduction of relapses during pregnancy – more effici t than any available treatment for MS – followed by an increase of disease activity postpartum. Exclusive breastfeeding with its distinct hormonal changes leads to a moderate relapse risk reduction in the fi st 6 months after birth.

Unfortunately smaller clinical trials failed to show a meaningful effect on the postpartum relap-se risk with high dose progesteron; estriol – an estrogen exclusively produced during pregnancy – led to a relapse reduction, paradoxically not refl cted in the development of new T2 lesions. Attempts to pharmaceutically imitate the power of pregnancy have unfortunately not been successfull yet. Th s talk will focus on the interactions of endogenous and exogenous hormonal changes on susceptibility and prognosis of multiple sclerosis.

There is solid evidence for variants of genes and lifestyle / environmental factors influencing the risk for multiple sclerosis (MS), each of which has low or modest impact on the disease. Gene-environment interactions may be important. Detailed knowledge on these may allow more pre-cise therapy and prevention. The epidemiological and genetic fi lds have mostly operated sepa-rately. We combine these in a nation-wide study on incident MS cases (now 3500) and matched population based controls (4400).

So far we have evaluated lifestyle / environmental factors; like smoking (OR~1.6), exposure to organic solvents (OR~1.5), use of oral tobacco (OR~0.5), lack of sun exposure / v itamin D (OR~1.5), Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection (OR~2), high EBNA1 fragment serology (OR~4), obesity (OR~2 at age 20) and night shift ork (OR~1.7 before age of 20).

We studied interaction with the strongest MS risk genes: HLA DRB1*15:01 and HLA A2 status.

Smoking interacted with carriage of HLA-DRB1*15 and absence of HLA-A*02. The risk of de-veloping MS was substantially increased among smokers with both genetic risk factors (OR 13) compared to non-smokers with neither of these factors, similar to organic solvent exposure. Similar interactions prevailed with measures of EBV infection, obesity at age 20, while there were no interactions between sun exposure habits / vitamin D levels, night shift work and HLA MS risk genes.

Hypothetically, inflammatory irritation in the lung in context with MS risk genes may trigger MS. These immune reactions will be important to study. Furthermore, upcoming studies of MS genetics should take lifestyle / environmental factors into account.

Vaccinations are of fundamental importance for preventing communicable infectious diseases in humans. In individuals with MS vaccinations reduce the risk of relapses related to infections.

Notwithstanding this, concerns on vaccinations in t he context of MS a re regularly raised by patients and also in the media for various reasons. Recurring questions are, whether vac-cinations can trigger MS-relapses or even induce the disease onset by molecular mimicry or polyclonal bystander activation of autoreactive lymphocytes. Are vaccinations under specificimmune-therapies safe and also efficacious? With a focus on these questions this talk will review important aspects of vaccinations in individuals with MS.

A poor vitamin D status has been associated with an increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). In subjects with MS, a low circulating vitamin D status has been associated with several adverse disease outcomes such as an increased risk of relapses, a higher EDSS-score and an increased risk of disease activity on MRI. In MS patients visiting our outpatient clinic, higher circulating levels of the vitamin D metabolite 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(0H)D) were associated with a higher risk of remaining relapse-free the subsequent 3 years. EDSS-progression was not predicted by 25(0H)D levels. However, relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) p atients with a rapid transition towards progressive MS displayed lower 25 (OH)D levels at diagnosis than matched patients with a prolonged RRMS phase.

Although the causality of these associations is not consolidated, the prospect of a disease modu-lating effect of vitamin D supplementation in MS is tempting. To assess this hypothesis, we designed a randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) on vitamin D supplementation as add-on therapy in Interferon Beta-treated RRMS patients. In vitro and in experimental models of MS, the active metabolite of vitamin D is a potent immune regulatory molecule. lt is believed that an immune regulatory role of vitamin D in vivo may underlie the earlier reported associations of vitamin D status with disease outcomes of MS. We explored correlations between relevant immunological outcomes and 25(0H)D levels in cross-sectional studies and fi ally assessed an effect of vitamin D supplementation on these outcomes in a sub-study of the earlier mentioned RCT.

Preliminary results will be discussed in this lecture. We conclude that vitamin D supplemen-tation may modulate the disease course of MS, yet defin tive results of RCT's are needed to translate associations to therapeutic interventions. Results of several RCT's are expected and may provide more clearness in the near future.

Dr. Viktor von Wyl, Zurich CH

Together, the Swiss MS Registry (SMSR) and the Swiss MS Cohort Study (SMSC) create a very unique study base for highly innovative national and international MS research. The SMSC is a clinic-based, observational study that started recruiting in June 2012. Currently, over 900 MS patients seen at seven Swiss MS centers are enrolled. The SMSC collects longitu-dinal, high-quality clinical data, biosamples and MRI scans. Follow-up data are obtained every 6 or 12 months and include assessments of EDSS scores by certifi d examiners, serum, plasma and whole blood samples and optional cranial MRI. Research objectives entail investigations into MS progression, search for and validation of biomarkers, as well as evaluations of safety and efficacy of MS therapies. The SMSR pursues a citizen-science approach and is open to all persons with a confi med MS diagnosis. Enrollment will start in June 2016, and participation will be possible via the internet or by paper questionnaires. From the start, persons with MS were involved in the planning and development of the SMSR. Interactive tools such as online voting and feedback systems, patient diaries, and discussion forums will be offered to maintain the engagement of the MS community with the SMSR. Data collections span a wide range of topics from nutrition, coping with MS, physiotherapy, or mental health through longitudinal surveys, as well as clinical information on MS by medical record abstraction.Topical overlaps exist between the SMSR and the SMSC in the colleciton of clinical data, and these are intended. Both databases are designed for mutual compatability, and informed consent procedures involve the option of data exchanges between the studies for double enrollees. Mo-reover, the inclusive nature of the SMSR offers the possibility to engage less-studied persons with MS in research (e.g. persons with severe disabilities or those who are not in care at MS centers), thereby complementing the more clinic-centered, but well documented SMSC population.In summary, the close partnership between the two studies ensure the creation of maximal synergies and benefits for persons with MS and other stakeholders. Together, the SMSR and the SMSC strive to advance Swiss MS research by providing comprehensive, high quality data and a unique platform for nested studies.

Prof. Ludwig Kappos, Basel CH

In the last years we have witnessed an accelerated development of new compounds for the treat-ment of relapsing multiple sclerosis. New oral treatments and monocolonal antibodies (already approved or in the process of approval by health authorities) did not only improve tolerability and thus convenience, but have also shown superiority in direct head-to-head comparisons with well established compounds for fi st-line treatment.

Results of recent controlled trials and systematic observational studies concerning both efficacy and side-effects / risks underline the need for valid criteria, if not for prediction then at least for early assessment of treatment response as a basis for therapeutic choices. In addition, recent progress challenges the up to now preferred therapeutic algorithms for staged treatment escala-tion and underlines the necessity to evaluate such escalation algorithms against early induction treatment. Finally, latest evidence suggests that emerging treatments may also have direct bene-fic al effects on the progressive plan of the disease.

After a short review of most recent clinical trial results the lecture will cover actual and emer-ging criteria for treatment decisions in daily practice and resulting algorithms.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe infectious disease of the cen-tral nervous system that is caused by reactivation of the JC virus in people carrying the virus, which are around 50% of the population. PML occurs almost exclusively in immunosup-pressed individuals and is associated with several disease modifying treatments (DMTs) in multiple sclerosis (MS).

PML may cause death or severe disability and therefore must be considered in the choice of treatment in MS. Th s workshop aims to give an overview of PML risk in MS and its implica-tion on treatment.

WORKSHOP BBIOMARKERS IN MS

Given the growing therapeutic armamentarium with potential severe adverse drug reactions (sADR), there is a clear medical need for the establishment of new biomarkers. These need to adress a) differential diagnosis, b) heterogeneity of the disease, c) optimized patient selection for a given treatment and d) markers of the risk to develop sADR.

In this workshop we will review the stepwise approach to CSF analysis in t he differential diagnosis. Th s is especially important since our understanding of the defini g disease pa-thogenesis remains incomplete and no specific markers are currently available to confi m the disease. Additional biomarkers characteristic for differential diagnoses (e.g. AQP IV, MOG-antibodies) and potential surrogate markers of the disease (e.g. EBV serology, VitD, KIR 4.1 antibodies) will be discussed. Current status of research on response biomarkers will be revie-wed, e.g. chitinase 3 like 1 and neurofilaments that may help to monitor therapeutic decisions in MS in future. Finally, markers that may assist in the risk stratifi ation of sADR such as PML will be adresssed (e.g. Anti JCV-antibody, lymphocyte counts, CD62L).

Upon completion of this workshop the participant will have an overview on the value of esta-blished biomarkers for clinical practice as well as development and controversies surrounding experimental markers.

Neuroprotection is an important unmet medical need in MS both at the early stages, but parti-cularly once patients begin to enter the chronic progressive stages.

We will give a brief introduction into the topic with respect to mechanisms of the «degenerative» aspects of MS and how neuroprotection can be achieved, highlight which substances that are approved for other indications have already shown promise as neuroprotective agents in MS, and fi ally give an outlook on approaches that are being pursued for future therapies.

Local and global atrophy measurements provided by structural magnetic resonance images (MRI) may provide a clinical marker of neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis patients.

In workshop D, we will first present a summary of the literature showing how MRI-based atrophy metrics correlate with patients clinical outcome and response to therapy. We will then make a brief introduction of the most common methods used to quantify brain volume changes over time in MS research. And we will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of providing atrophy metrics to radiologist and neurologist using the methods currently available in research settings. Last, we will attempt at summarizing the future steps towards «clinically meaningful» atrophy measurements in clinical practice.
