Effects of interferon beta-1b on cognitive performance in patients with a first event suggestive of multiple sclerosis.


ABSTRACT: Cognitive dysfunction occurs at the earliest stages of multiple sclerosis (MS), including the stage of clinically isolated syndrome (CIS).We evaluated the impact of interferon beta-1b (IFN?-1b) 250 µg on cognitive performance during the CIS stage in the BENEFITstudy. Cognition was assessed by Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test-3" (PASAT-3") scores.Improvement in PASAT-3" score from baseline to year two was greater for IFN?-1b treatment than placebo in patients not reaching clinically definite MS (CDMS) by year two. The treatment effect was maintained at year five and was statistically significant.To conclude, early IFN?-1b treatment had a sustained positive effect on PASAT-3" score over the 5-year BENEFIT study.

<h4>Background</h4>Cognitive dysfunction occurs at the earliest stages of multiple sclerosis (MS), including the stage of clinically isolated syndrome (CIS).<h4>Methods</h4>We evaluated the impact of interferon beta-1b (IFNβ-1b) 250 µg on cognitive performance during the CIS stage in the BENEFITstudy. Cognition was assessed by Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test-3" (PASAT-3") scores.<h4>Results</h4>Improvement in PASAT-3" score from baseline to year two was greater for IFNβ-1b treatment than pla  ...[more]
