We're seeking dedicated experts to join the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS for the 2026 term!

The Committee provides perspective and guidance in areas of interest to planning and implementation of clinical trials for new agents for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. It is well known for its work in developing the McDonald Diagnostic Criteria and the 1996 and 2013 clinical course descriptors for MS.

What will the proposed 2024 McDonald Criteria mean for multiple sclerosis diagnosis worldwide?

The updated criteria aim to help clinicians diagnose MS with greater accuracy. But how easily can these criteria be applied across diverse healthcare systems and resource settings?

📊 The MS International Federation (MSIF)'s latest Atlas of MS shows that 60% of countries report at least one obstacle to adopting the 2017 McDonald Criteria. Even high- and upper-middle-income countries cite challenges from lack of awareness to uneven access to key diagnostics.

In our new Spotlight, experts from Thailand and Chile share real-world insights:

- Prof. Sasitorn Siritho of Mahidol University and Siriraj Hospital outlines Thailand's ongoing healthcare challenges in rural areas, including limited access to MS specialists.

- Prof. Ethel Ciampi of Pontifical Catholic University of Chile highlights the country's latitudinal diversity, public/private disparities, and the need for improved neuroradiology access.

🎧 New podcast!

Professor Jan Hillert of Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and chair of the Swedish MS Registry joins host Brett Drummond of MStranslate to discuss the expanding role of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in multiple sclerosis research. PROs have become a critical tool for capturing the lived experience of MS, providing valuable insights into symptoms such as fatigue, mood, and cognitive changes that may evade objective measurement but have a profound impact on quality of life.

"We can assess the importance of treatments with patient report outcomes, statistically prove the importance of treatments. We can prove the importance of lifestyle. We can show the importance of socioeconomic background. We can even use patient report outcome data as predictors for what will be in five or 10 years. So even what we have today is really pretty good," says Prof. Hillert.
