Immunic Inc chief scientific officer Hella Kohlhof discusses multiple sclerosis (MS), its development, origin, and current treatments with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion to mark World Brain Day on July 22. Kohlhof explained that MS is a chronic and unpredictable disease of the central nervous system, affecting the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerve, leading to various severe symptoms. She highlighted the recent research linking the Epstein-Barr virus to MS, emphasizing the need for continued investigation. Kohlhof discussed Immunic's lead asset, vidofludimus calcium, which is being developed for treating both relapsing and progressive MS. She explained that this drug has a dual mode of action, providing neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects. Clinical trials have shown promising results, with phase three studies underway and expected to conclude in 2026. Additionally, the phase 2 CALLIPER study in progressive MS is fully recruited, with top-line data expected in 2025. Kohlhof also shared practical advice for maintaining brain health, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and mental engagement.
