We investigated, lymphocyte count (LC) and lymphocyte subpopulations (LS) in a real life setting of Fingolimod (FTY) treated Relapsing MS (RMS) patients. Peripheral blood counts with LS, relapses and MRI scans were recorded in a cohort of 119 FTY patients, during one year of treatment. Simple and multivariate logistic regression models, were performed. ROC analysis identified cut-off values of LS predicting a higher risk of relapses and of Gd+ lesions. We demonstrated a FTY-induced re-modulation of the immune system, suggesting that LS in RMS FTY treated patients can predict the clinical response to the drug.
我们在芬戈莫德（FTY）治疗复发型多发性硬化症（RMS）患者的实际临床环境中，对淋巴细胞计数（LC）和淋巴细胞亚群（LS）进行了研究。在119例接受FTY治疗的患者队列中，记录了治疗一年期间外周血的LS计数、复发情况和MRI扫描结果。进行了单因素和多因素逻辑回归模型分析。ROC分析确定了LS预测复发和钆增强（Gd+）病灶高风险的临界值。我们证明了FTY可诱导免疫系统的重新调节，这表明接受FTY治疗的RMS患者的LS可预测对该药物的临床反应。
