Global Committee Proposes New Framework on Describing MS Types: The International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS – a global body jointly supported by ECTRIMS and National MS Society – has proposed a new “mechanism-driven” framework to describe types of MS. The goal of the new framework – published on 18 November in Lancet Neurology – is to move away from purely clinical descriptions of separate phases and instead understand MS as a continuous disease process influenced and driven by underlying mechanisms of nervous system injury.
