Mitoxantrone (Novantrone) in multiple sclerosis: new insights
Abstract
The conclusions of a recent study of mitoxantrone (Novantrone) in multiple sclerosis and the approval of several health authorities support its use in patients with active relapsing-remitting or secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. This drug profile provides an outline on relevant preclinical and clinical studies, discusses relevant side effects of the compound and places mitoxantrone in the context of other therapeutic approaches available against this disabling disorder.
