Immune reconstitution therapies are reshaping modern MS management, offering periods of lasting disease control without continuous immunosuppression. In this thought-provoking session, Prof. Patrick Vermersch, leading MS clinician and clinical trial expert, examines how IRTs work in real clinical practice, what drives long-term success, and how to navigate risks, patient selection, and treatment timing.
Drawing on decades of research and clinical experience, Prof. Vermersch provides a clear and clinically meaningful framework for understanding cladribine, alemtuzumab, HSCT, and other...
In this keynote lecture at the Belgian MS Symposium 2025, Pietro Maggi discussed how advanced MRI biomarkers have been integrated into the upcoming 2024 revisions of the McDonald diagnostic criteria for Multiple Sclerosis.
Key Insights from the Webinar:
These revisions aim to improve diagnostic precision and reduce misdiagnosis, particularly in early or atypical cases. Among the most significant updates are:
Optic nerve involvement — now recognized as a fifth anatomical location for demonstrating dissemination in space (DIS), supported by MRI, visual evoked potentials (VEP), and optical...
This recording will help you refine your MS diagnostic skills with Christine Lebrun-Frenay led-insights on the 2024 McDonald criteria and practical tools for confident early detection.
Key Insights from the Webinar
The 2024 McDonald revision refines diagnostic clarity in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) while maintaining strong continuity with the 2017 criteria. The update aims to support earlier, more confident diagnosis, particularly for asymptomatic or preclinical cases, and to reduce over-diagnosis in patients with vascular or migraine-related MRI findings. The session highlights how these...

Identification of progression needs new (digital) tools:
•Which can monitor different symptoma domains
•Which can assessment neurological function in a quantitative way
•Which are sensitive enough to detect even subtle changes
Patient-reported outcomes can assist using innovative instruments to detect progression from the patient perspective.
Data should be collected and analyzed on one platform.
