Traditionally, <abbr title=\"multiple sclerosis\">MS<\/abbr> patients in China have been treated with disease-modifying therapies (<abbr title=\"disease-modifying therapy\">DMT<\/abbr>s) (<abbr title=\"interferon\">IFN<\/abbr>-\u03b2-1b [Bayer\u2019s Betaferon], teriflunomide [Sanofi\u2019s Aubagio], fingolimod [Novartis\u2019s Gilenya], and siponimod [Novartis\u2019s Mayzent]) and immunosuppressants (such as methotrexate, mitoxantrone, rituximab, azathioprine). In addition, the approval of ofatumumab (Novartis\u2019s Kesimpta) and dimethyl fumarate (Biogen\u2019s Tecfidera) in 2021 will boost the use of novel agents for the treatment of <abbr title=\"multiple sclerosis\">MS<\/abbr> in China, thus increasing overall market sales. Despite the launch and availability of multiple <abbr title=\"disease-modifying therapy\">DMT<\/abbr>s in this market, pricing and reimbursement dynamics will continue to play a critical role in determining how the treatment paradigm will evolve over the next 10 years.
