Oral treatment options for disease-modifying therapy in relapsing multiple sclerosis have substantially increased over the past decade with four approved oral compounds now available: fingolimod, dimethyl fumarate, teriflunomide, and cladribine. Although these immunomodulating therapies are all orally administered, and thus convenient for patients, they have different modes of action. These distinct mechanisms of action allow better adaption of treatments according to individual comorbidities and offer different mechanisms of treatment such as inhibition of immune cell trafficking versus immune cell depletion, thereby substantially expanding the available treatment options.
