Treatment Summary

Siponimod (also known as Mayzent) is a medication prescribed for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). It was approved by the FDA on March 26, 2019 and by Health Canada on February 20, 2020. MS is an autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system, causing inflammation, fatigue, vision issues, mobility problems, and more. Siponimod is a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor modulator that works to reduce inflammation in the central nervous system. It is most commonly prescribed to adults aged 20-40, who are the most likely to

Effectiveness

How Mayzent Affects Patients

**Effects on the Immune System:** Siponimod causes a decrease in the number of lymphocytes in the blood within 6 hours of taking it. This reduces inflammation associated with multiple sclerosis. The decreased number of lymphocytes usually returns to normal within 10 days of stopping the drug. **Effects on the Heart:** Taking siponimod can temporarily lower heart rate and cause changes in heart rhythm. This usually occurs within 6 hours of taking the drug, but it does not affect heart rate during exercise or other activities. **Effects on Lungs:** Siponimod may

How Mayzent works in the body

Multiple Sclerosis is caused by inflammation in the brain and spinal cord. This inflammation is caused by immune cells, such as B lymphocytes, and the chemicals they produce. Siponimod is a drug that works by blocking the release of lymphocytes from the lymph nodes. This reduces the number of lymphocytes in the body and prevents them from entering the central nervous system, which reduces the inflammation associated with Multiple Sclerosis. It is not yet known exactly how this drug works, but it is believed to be related to its ability to block the release of lymphocytes.

Mayzent Toxicity & Overdose Risk

Carcinogenesis: Siponimod has been shown to increase the risk of cancer in mice and rats, with higher doses having a greater effect. The lowest dose tested is five times the recommended human dose. Mutagenesis: Tests have shown that siponimod does not cause changes in DNA or chromosomes. Impairment of Fertility: Male rats given siponimod before and during mating had a longer time before mating and lower number of viable fetuses. Female rats given the drug had no effects on fertility up to the highest dose.

CYB704 vs Ocrevus for Multiple Sclerosis

18 - 55
All Sexes
Maitland, FL

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug CYB704, a proposed biosimilar to Ocrevus, works to treat multiple sclerosis in the same way as the reference product Ocrevus(R). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is CYB704 distributed in the body in the same way as the reference product (demonstration of pharmacokinetic (PK) similarity)? * Does have CYB704 the same treatment effect and side effects as the reference product? Researchers will compare CYB704 to a Ocrevus (Ocrevus-US and Ocrevus-EU). Participants will: * Take drug CYB704 or Ocrevus (Ocrevus-US and Ocrevus-EU) * Visit the clinic for at least 15 treatment visits, checkups and tests * Will undergo regular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations
