It also features substantial late-phase pipeline activity; several new candidates will be submitted and\/or accepted for FDA review in 2019. DMTs in development include novel entrants (Mavenclad, an oral, short-course, selective immune reconstitution therapy), a reformulation (Biogen\u2019s Tecfidera follow-on Vumerity), and several next-generation alternatives (e.g., Celgene\u2019s ozanimod, Novartis\u2019s ofatumumab). Additional areas of development include novel adjunctive neuroprotective and remyelinating strategies (e.g., MediciNova\u2019s ibudilast, Biogen\u2019s opicinumab), arguably the next frontier in MS treatment. This report will examine neurologists\u2019 opinions of, receptivity to, and anticipated use of new products likely to enter this dynamic market in the next few years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Questions Answered<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What are neurologists\u2019 perceptions of Vumerity?
