TEM,  which are important for immune surveillance and maintenance of protective immunity,  lack the  homing and retention-promoting receptor CCR7, and are therefore largely spared by fingolimod.Tn, naive T cells; TCM, central memory T cell; TEM, effector memory T cell Sallusto et al, Nature 1999;  Mackay Nature 1999; Sallusto et al., Annu Rev Immunol 2004; Lanzavecchia et al Science 2000;  Appay et al, Cytometry 2008; Westermann J and Pabst R.

In patients withoutGd-lesions at baseline the reduction in brain volume loss was apparent within the first 6 months and was sustained over the 2-year study
In patients withGd-lesions at baseline the reduction in brain volume loss was more apparent in the 2nd year than the 1st year

Editor's Notes

  1. THIS IS AN ANIMATED SLIDE WITH 1 CLICK:fades in the orange text box on the right
  2. THIS SLIDE CONTAINS A BUILD: The four trials feeding into the orange box appear first with the remainder appearing on click.At filing, fingolimod has the largest clinical trial programme.
  3. Absolute lymphocyte count decreases within days of fingolimod administrationLymphocyte count returns to normal levels within weeks of treatment cessationLymphocytes are not destroyed and remain functional within the lymph nodes during fingolimod treatmentNo rebound effect; absolute lymphocyte count remains within normal range (approximately 1 to 4 x 109/L)Circulating lymphocytes in blood represent &lt;2% of total number of lymphocytes Reported fingolimod-induced apoptosis of human lymphocytes in vitro (Suzuki S. et al. Immunology 1996) was at concentrations of 2 to 10 µM, significantly higher than the low nM concentrations at which in vivo activity has been observed.Source: ISS PTT 11.1-1Mean lymphocyte counts were returning to within the normal range in the first 45 days afterdiscontinuation. At the 3-month time point, the increase from study drug discontinuation wasmarked in FTY720 treatment groups. Only a minority of patients were followed for longer periods so thatthe information on the recovery beyond 3 months is limited.
