摘要
Teriflunomide (Aubagio) is a once-daily oral immunomodulatory disease modifying therapy (DMT) presently approved in several regions, including Europe, North America, Latin America and Australia, for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS; RRMS). The therapeutic mode of action of teriflunomide in MS continues to be investigated. This review summarizes the main efficacy and safety results of the clinical trial program leading to teriflunomide's approval, highlights a number of practical clinical considerations, and overviews its presumed therapeutic mode of action (MOA) based on pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic observations and the growing body of teriflunomide-related in vitro, pre-clinical (animal model), and in vivo human studies.
