A handful of newer disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for multiple sclerosis (MS)—Novartis’s Mayzent, Bristol Myers Squibb’s Zeposia, Novartis’s Kesimpta, and Janssen’s Ponvory—have received EU approval and have launched in the crowded MS market. Given the rapid pace of change in the MS market, developers of both current and emerging DMTs must continually reassess their products’ differentiation and likely positioning in this highly competitive space. This report will explore neurologists’ perceptions of established and newly launched DMTs, their prescribing habits in today’s market, and anticipated changes in brand usage as more DMTs expand—and further complicate—prescriber choice.
