What safety data exists for the treatment known as NPT 2042 or FTY720?
FTY720, also known as fingolimod, has been used in patients with multiple sclerosis and has shown a tolerable safety profile in clinical trials. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, fatigue, and infections like the flu, with specific concerns about heart monitoring due to potential cardiotoxicity. It has been well-tolerated in combination with other drugs for transplant patients, and its effect on reducing certain blood cells is specific to lymphocytes.12345
