Abstract: Natalizumab is a safe and efficacious treatment for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, Crohn's Disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Rare occurrences of progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy during treatment suggest the possibility that it may be related to natalizumab treatment. Monitoring for JCV and informing caregivers and patients about the manifestations of progressive multifocal leucoencephalopathy can improve the safety of natalizumab therapy.
Abstract: Provided herein, in some aspects, are methods of developing a biological therapeutic product. The methods can be used to formulate a biological therapeutic agent or screen biological therapeutic agents.

Abstract: The invention provides methods of treating diseases, disorders or injuries involving demyelination and dysmyelination, including multiple sclerosis, by the administration of a LINGO-4 antagonist.
Abstract: The disclosure provides multimeric oligonucleotide compounds, comprising two or more target-specific oligonucleotides (e.g., antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs)), each being resistant to cleavage, and linked together by a cleavable linker. In particular, two or more linked target-specific oligonucleotides, each to a different target, allows concomitant inhibition of multiple genes' expression levels, while exhibiting favorable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties.

Abstract: Provided herein are solutions to the heavy and light chain mispairing problems in bispecific antibodies. One part of the solution involves Fc regions that are engineered in their CH3 domains by lysine repositioning to drive heterodimerization of the two heavy chains of the bispecific antibody. The second part of the solution involves a modification of one of the two Fab arms of the bispecific antibody so as to prevent mispairing of light chains in the bispecific antibody. Specifically, the CH1 and CL domains of one of the Fab arms of the bispecific antibody are substituted with an IgE CH2 domain or an IgM CH2 domain.
Abstract: The present invention provides novel pharmaceutical compositions of dimethyl fumarate. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention comprises a first pharmaceutical bead composition and a second pharmaceutical bead composition, wherein the first pharmaceutical bead composition is an enterically coated immediate-release composition and the second pharmaceutical bead composition is an enterically coated controlled-release composition, wherein the first pharmaceutical bead composition and the second pharmaceutical bead composition both comprise dimethyl fumarate Methods of using the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention for treating multiple sclerosis are also included.
