Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder that happens in the Central nervous system of the body. Multiple Sclerosis involves the brain, optic nerves and the spinal cord and leads to the destruction of the insulation layer, Myelin, which covers the nerve fibers in the CNS.

SPMS is characterized by a continuous increase in disability and worsening of symptoms with or without the period of relapses and remissions. As per the latest report by Pharmascroll, SPMS- A Detailed Overview, nearly 50% of RRMS patients progress to SPMS in a 10 year time period. In SPMS, the patients might not have relapses at all but the symptoms may not completely go off (plateau) in the remission period.

As per the current scenario in Multiple Sclerosis indication, there are over 15 molecules approved in the worldwide market. However, majority of the molecules are approved in the Relapsing Remitting form of Multiple Sclerosis. The more progressive forms of Multiple Sclerosis like Secondary Progressive MS and Primary progressive MS are still to encounter the boom in terms of number of launched molecules and hence the indication sales revenue.

However, as per the report SPMS- A Detailed Overview, available at https://pharmascroll.com/product/spms-detailed-overview/, for Secondary progressive MS the scenario is changing rapidly. The usage of existing products like Tysabri and Ocrelizumab in SPMS, expected launch of Siponimod by Novartis in SPMS segment in 2019 and a strong pipeline in progressive MS including the products Laquinimod by Teva, Masitinib by AB Sciences, Ponesimod by Actelion and Lemtrada by Sanofi, indicates a huge paradigm shift for the progressive forms of MS specifically SPMS.

The report provides an overview of SPMS in detail, highlights the SPMS epidemiology in the key geographies (Forecast to 2024), elaborates on the drugs prescribed and expected to be prescribed in SPMS and covers the detailed market sizing drug wise and country wise in value sales and patient numbers along with forecasts till 2030.
