Case Study

GREAD Case Study I:Multiple Sclerosis

  • Patient outcomes for MS
    • Short term: relapse
    • Long term: disability (EDSS)
  • Treatment options
    • Disease modifying treatments (DMTs)
    • High-efficacy (HE) vs standard-efficacy (SE) classified mostly by relapse outcomes
    • SE is established for 1st line
  • What about 2nd line?
    • Rotate to another SE
    • Escalate to HE

GREAD Case Study II: Rheumatoid Arthritis

  • Patient outcomes for MS
    • Binary: remission
    • Quantitative: disease activity score (DAS)
  • Treatment options
    • Methotrexate established for 1st line
    • Add Tumor Necrosis Factor inhibitor (TNFi) for 2nd line
  • What about 3rd line?
    • Cycling to another TNFi
    • Swapping to other biologics
