In Episode 4 of the Illuminoz podcast series, Bianca Stadler speaks with Professor Laura Airas – a neuroimmunologist from Finland – about how treatment strategies in multiple sclerosis have evolved.

Should clinicians begin with moderate-efficacy therapies and escalate, or start with high-efficacy treatments early on? What does the latest evidence suggest? And how do patient characteristics influence these decisions?

This episode explores the shift toward early, effective intervention, the importance of personalized care, and how biosimilars may help expand access to optimal treatment.
