Every-other-day interferon beta-1b versus once-weekly interferon beta-1a for multiple sclerosis (INCOMIN Trial) II: analysis of MRI responses to trea

CLICK HERE TO READ MORE: "Background In RRMS, clinical exacerbations are usually associated with different types of active lesions at MRI, including: hyperintense lesions on T1-weighted post-gadolinium sequences; new hyperintense lesions or enlarging old lesions on PD/T2-weighted scans; or new hypointense lesions on T1-weighted pre-Gd sequences.Objective/methods Primary outcome was the occurrence of patients with at least one active MRI lesion of the different types indicated above during treatment with 250 m g every other day (EOD) interferon beta (IFNβ)-1b or 30 μg once weekly (OW) IFNβ-1a in outpatients with RRMS (INCOMIN Trial).Results The number of patients with at least one 'active' lesion, evaluated over the two-year follow-up, was significantly (P=0.014) lower in the EOD IFNβ-1b arm (13/76, 17%) then in the OW IFNβ-1a arm (25/73, 34%). NAb frequency over two-year follow-up was 22/65 (33.8%) in the EOD IFNβ-1b arm and 4/62 (6.5%) in the OW IFNβ-1a arm, significantly greater in the EOD IFNβ-1b arm."
