Despite that the availability of new therapeutic options has expanded the multiple sclerosis (MS) disease-modifying therapy arsenal, interferon β (IFN-β) remains an important therapy option in the current decision-making process. This review will summarize the present knowledge of IFN-β mechanism of action, the overall safety, and the short- and long-term efficacy of its use in relapsing remitting MS and clinically isolated syndromes. Data on secondary progressive MS is also provided, although no clear benefit was identified.
尽管新的治疗选择的出现扩大了多发性硬化症 (MS) 的疾病修饰治疗武器库,但干扰素 β (IFN-β) 在当前的决策过程中仍然是一种重要的治疗选择。本综述将总结 IFN-β 的作用机制、总体安全性以及在复发缓解型 MS 和临床孤立综合征中的短期和长期疗效的现有知识。也提供了关于继发进展型 MS 的数据,尽管没有发现明确的益处。
