N2 - Treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) has improved considerably over the last decade because of new insights into MS pathology and biotechnological advances. This has led to the development of new potent pharmaceutical compounds targeting different processes in the complex autoimmune pathology leading to chronic central nervous system (CNS) demyelination, neural loss, and, finally, neurological disability. Although a number of disease-modifying treatments are available for the treatment of the inflammatory phase of MS, there is still a need for highly efficacious therapies with an acceptable safety profile in order to gain therapeutic control early in the disease course. Monoclonal antibodies have proven to be some of the most efficacious disease-modifying therapies in the field of MS, and recent developments in clinical research hold promise for new compounds fulfilling the need for improved safety and high efficacy. We review recent developments in the field of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies used for the treatment of MS and current information on the mode of action, efficacy, and safety of existing and emerging therapeutic monoclonal antibodies as well as their place within the context of different treatment strategies. Finally, we consider the most important future developments.
