Neutralizing antibodies and fatigue as predictors of low response to interferon-beta treatment in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Résumé

BackgroundThe clinical impact of neutralizing antibodies against interferon-beta (NAb) is controversial. Their presence can lead to a decrease in interferon-beta (IFNß) efficacy. Fatigue reported in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) may be associated with an unfavorable clinical course. We conducted a prospective multicentre study to assess the association between response to IFNß, NAb and fatigue.MethodsPatients with relapsing-remitting MS on IFNß treatment were included. During the second year of treatment, the patients were analyzed for NAb status and non-response criteria to IFNß (number of relapses ¿1 during the follow-up period, increase in the Expanded Disability Status Scale ¿0.5). The score on the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS pathological if score ¿35) was noted for each patient.ResultsOf the 176 patients included: 22.3% were NAb positive, 54.5% presented non-response criteria to IFNß, and 57.4% had a pathological MFIS score. Fatigue was increased in NAb¿+¿patients (p¿=¿0.0014) and they were more likely to present non-response criteria to IFNß (p¿=¿0.041) than NAb- patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the presence of NAb was related to fatigue (p¿=¿0.0032) and denoted disease activity in these patients (p¿=¿0.026).ConclusionsThis study demonstrates the impact of NAb on the non-clinical response to IFNß. Fatigue assessment is an indicator of IFNß responsiveness and a predictive biomarker of deterioration on patient¿s neurological status.
