To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of siponimod tablets in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) through a case series study.
Patients meeting inclusion criteria from the department of neurology were enrolled. Demographic data, disease characteristics, medication history and laboratory/imaging results were collected. Efficacy was assessed at baseline, 3 months and 6 months after siponimod tablets medication using 3 dimensions: the expanded disability status scale (EDSS), patient-reported outcomes (PRO), and disease activity. Safety was concurrently evaluated.
A total of 7 patients were included. After 6 months of siponimod tablets treatment, median EDSS score decreased from 7.00 to 6.50; EQ-5D-5L utility index median increased from -0.06 to 0.20; EQ-5D-5L VAS median score rose from 52.86 to 63.57; MSIS-29v2 physical mean score decreased from 64.52 to 54.52; MSIS-29v2 psychological mean score declined from 51.85 to 44.44; MSWS-12 mean score reduced from 80.06 to 75.00. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) results indicated decreased disease activity, which was also observed in patients converting from teriflunomide to siponimod treatment. Adverse drug reactions including lymphopenia (2 cases), elevated transaminases (1 case) and hypertension (1 case) were all considered treatment-related.
Siponimod tablets may be a therapeutic option for RMS patients, though larger studies are needed to confirm efficacy. Pre-treatment assessment of complete blood count and liver function is essential. If clinically significant adverse drug reactions occur during the treatment period, adjustments to the dosage or combined medication should be considered.
