Bruce Cree, MD, PhD, MAS, from the University of California, San Francisco, CA, provides us with an update on the DAYBREAK open-label extension study (NCT02576717) assessing the long-term efficacy of ozanimod as a multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment. This clinical trial included patients from the RADIANCE (NCT02047734) and SUNBEAM (NCT02294058) Phase III randomized, placebo-controlled studies, with the aim of further characterization of the long-term effects of ozanimod and to see if any new signals may emerge over time. The study found no new safety signals with long-term treatment. It was also noted that treatment-emergent adverse event rates decreased over time. The study also focused on hepatic issues associated with ozanimod, finding that although there were some discontinuations due to liver function abnormalities, there were no cases of drug induced liver injury and that frequent monitoring of liver functionality was not necessary. Recorded at the 9th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) 2023 held in Budapest, Hungary.
