The 8th Joint ACTRIMS-ECTRIMS Meeting 2020
The 8th Joint ACTRIMS-ECTRIMS Meeting, the largest international conference focused on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research, was held in a virtual format from September 11-13, 2020, with a special encore session featuring Late-Breaking News and a COVID-19 Session on September 26.
At this virtual conference – MSVirtual2020 – world class scientists, neurologists, clinicians and researchers from around the world presented the latest research, clinical trial outcomes and technology and diagnostic advances in multiple sclerosis (MS).
Key topics included:
- Cutting-edge research into the cause of MS, ranging from epigenetics and genetic factors, to defining the intricate immunological and pathological pathways that inform drug discovery and therapeutic interventions.
- Radiological advances and machine learning approaches and how these techniques can help us better understand MS.
- Biomarkers of disease activity and response to therapy, which is critical for the future of personalized medicine in MS.
- The outcomes of recent clinical trials of new agents and interventions, innovations in symptomatic and rehabilitative therapy, and current research on MS and COVID-19.

- BD01 – DMTs prevent-slow down cognitive impairment in MS
- BD02 – DMTs should be trialed in individuals with PPMS and SPMS with or without recent disease activity
