Abstract
Objective
To compare the effectiveness of glatiramer acetate (GA) vs intramuscular interferon beta-1a (IFN-β-1a), we applied a previously published statistical method aimed at identifying patients' profiles associated with efficacy of treatments.
Methods
Data from 2 independent multiple sclerosis datasets, a randomized study (the Combination Therapy in Patients With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis [CombiRx] trial, evaluating GA vs IFN-β-1a) and an observational cohort extracted from MSBase, were used to build and validate a treatment response score, regressing annualized relapse rates (ARRs) on a set of baseline predictors.
Results
The overall ARR ratio of GA to IFN-β-1a in the CombiRx trial was 0.72. The response score (made up of a linear combination of age, sex, relapses in the previous year, disease duration, and Expanded Disability Status Scale score) detected differential response of GA vs IFN-β-1a: in the trial, patients with the largest benefit from GA vs IFN-β-1a (lower score quartile) had an ARR ratio of 0.40 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.25–0.63), those in the 2 middle quartiles of 0.90 (95% CI 0.61–1.34), and those in the upper quartile of 1.14 (95% CI 0.59–2.18) (heterogeneity p = 0.012); this result was validated on MSBase, with the corresponding ARR ratios of 0.58 (95% CI 0.46–0.72), 0.92 (95% CI 0.77–1.09,) and 1.29 (95% CI 0.97–1.71); heterogeneity p < 0.0001).
Conclusions
We demonstrate the possibility of a criterion, based on patients' characteristics, to choose whether to treat with GA or IFN-β-1a. This result, replicated on an independent real-life cohort, may have implications for clinical decisions in everyday clinical practice.

NAME OF PROFESSIONAL: Gary Cutter Is this project active or pending? Active Project Number: R01 HD088646 Name of Principal Investigator: Anup Katheria Funding Source: National Institute of Health Title of Project (or Subproject): Premature Infants Receiving Cord Milking Or Delayed Cord Clamping Dates of Approved/Proposed Project: 4/1/2017 – 3/31/2022 Annual Direct Costs: $557,186 Percent Effort: 2.5% What are the specific aims of this project? Delayed cord clamping reduces overall bleeding in the brain of premature infants, but not the most severe types. “Milking” the umbilical cord, a method used to transfer blood from the placenta into the baby before the umbilical cord is clamped, may provide additional blood volume to the brain and other vital organs thereby reducing bleeding in the brain and improving long-term outcomes in premature babies.

Cognitive impairment is highly prevalent, disabling, and poorly managed in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS) and exercise training might represent a promising approach for better managing this symptom of the disease. Treadmill walking has recently been identified as the exercise modality that might exert the greatest beneficial effects on cognition in MS. This investigation will provide data on potential mechanisms for how chronic exercise training might improve cognition in persons with MS NAME OF PROFESSIONAL: Gary Cutter Is this project active or pending? Active Project Number: UAB #517503 Name of Principal Investigator: Saag, K Funding Source: Horizon Pharma USA, Inc. Title of Project (or Subproject): Reducing Immunogenicity to PegloticasE (RECIPE) Dates of Approved/Proposed Project: 10/23/2017 – 10/22/2020 Current Year Direct: $618,793 Percent Effort: 12.5% What are the specific aims of this project?

Active Project Number: P01HL136267 Name of Principal Investigator: Pollock Funding Source: NIH/NHLBI Title of Project (or Subproject): Integrating Novel Mechanisms Controlling Sodium Excretion and Blood Pressure Dates of Approved/Proposed Project: 05/01/2017 – 03/31/2022 Annual Direct Costs: $1,756,435 Percent Effort: 5% What are the specific aims of this project? This PPG focuses on elucidating mechanisms by which the kidney controls sodium excretion, and therefore, has direct relevance to the serious health problem of salt-dependent hypertension and kidney disease. The three main projects each utilize relevant animal models and sophisticated in vitro techniques to uncover the pathways that lead to salt-dependent high blood pressure as well as uncovering ways to combat significant side effects of the relevant class of drugs known as endothelin receptor antagonists. We expect these studies will be important in guiding future clinical and therapeutic practices for a broad range of cardiovascular and related diseases NAME OF PROFESSIONAL: Gary Cutter Is this project active or pending? Active Project Number: R01AG057684 Name of Principal Investigator: Kennedy Funding Source: NIH/NIA Title of Project (or Subproject): In Silico Screening of Medications for Slowing AlzheimerÂs Disease Progression Dates of Approved/Proposed Project: 09/15/2017 – 03/31/2022 Annual Direct Costs: $482,787 Percent Effort: 10% What are the specific aims of this project? In this proposal, we will explore drug repurposing, in which medications approved to treat other illnesses are evaluated for potential benefits in Alzheimer's disease (AD), to improve the efficiency of the drug development process, which currently ends in failure for most candidate medications despite considerable investment of both time and resources. We will apply data mining, or pattern recognition, algorithms to the concomitant medications taken by subjects in previous AD clinical trials that are part of our meta-database of more than 6,500 individuals and by participants in Medicare Part D with more than 787,000 individuals. This approach will allow us to screen hundreds of drugs for effects in slowing the progression of AD, which will guide future clinical trials of novel therapeutic agents.
