The treatment of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis has witnessed major progress since the first effective disease modifying treatment, ß-interferon, became available in 1993. One of the most remarkable new treatments has been natalizumab. This review describes the evolution of this humanized anti-α4ß1 monoclonal antibody, from preclinical experimental research through proof-of-concept (phase 1/2) and pivotal (phase 3) clinical trials to the now extensive experience of its use in clinical practice. The future potential and challenges of natalizumab and oral therapies with a similar mechanism of action are also discussed.
自 1993 年首个有效的疾病修正治疗药物——β干扰素问世以来,复发性缓解型多发性硬化症的治疗取得了重大进展。其中最显著的新疗法之一是那他珠单抗。本文描述了这种人源化抗 α4β1 单克隆抗体的发展历程,从临床前实验研究到概念验证(1/2 期)和关键(3 期)临床试验,再到目前在临床实践中的广泛应用。本文还讨论了那他珠单抗的未来潜力和挑战,以及具有类似作用机制的口服疗法。
