RESUMO

Pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (MS, POMS) accounts for 3-5% of all MS cases and is characterized by a highly inflammatory profile, often warranting treatment with high-efficacy agents. Our aim is to present real-world data of a series of 18 Hellenic POMS patients treated with natalizumab (NTZ) either as adolescents or as adults, after high disease activity has efficiently subsided. Clinical and imaging/laboratory data from 18 POMS patients who have received at least one NTZ infusion were selected in this single-center retrospective observational study. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotyping was performed with standard low-resolution sequence-specific oligonucleotide techniques. Eighteen patients with a mean age of disease onset of 15.3 ± 2.4 years were treated with NTZ with a mean of 51.7 ± 46.4 infusions, 6 as adolescents and 12 as adults. 22.2% were treatment naïve. At the end of the observational period, patients of both groups remained relapse-free, with no radiological activity and significantly reduced disability accumulation. No evidence of disease activity (NEDA)-3 status was achieved in 66.7% of all patients, 58.3% in the adult-treated, and 83.3% in the adolescent-treated POMS patients. NTZ was generally well tolerated. Only 5 adverse events were observed, in 3 patients who were carriers of the HLA-DRB1*15 (HLA-DRB1*15/HLA-DRB1*11 and HLA-DRB1*15/HLA-DRB1*13 genotypes), 1 homozygous for the HLA-DRB1*03 allele and 1 heterozygous for HLA-DRB1*04 and HLA-DRB1*16 alleles. NTZ is highly efficacious and mostly safe for POMS patients with high disease activity in all age groups. The role of immunogenetics in personalized patient evaluation and treatment needs to be further investigated.
