Siponimod for SPMS

So,, I was at my Appointment with the Nurse yesterday and had my Gabapentin dose raised from 5 to 6 pills per day, She then mentioned a new drug for SPMS called Siponimod, being introduced in the Autmn, apparently. Any other SPMSers been told this news?.

Hi @peterfrancis, that’s great news. This is hot on the heels of Ocrevus and the impact that’s had for PPMS. I think it’s only just been approved in the last few months, so might be a bit of faffing whilst the admin completes. So, you are part of a whole new vision for SPMS. Nice one x

End of this year if the manufacturer is to be believed (Novartis). Ithink it is also being trialled. Quite a few centres across the UK. See here for all the info https://www.mssociety.org.uk/research/explore-our-research/emerging-research-and-treatments/explore-treatments-in-trials/siponimod#
