255. CAR-T Cell Therapy for MS: Clinical Trials Now Enrolling - MS Neurologist Interview

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Burhan Chaudhry, MS neurologist and clinical lead at Bristol Myers Squibb, to discuss CAR-T cell therapy which is an innovative treatment currently enrolling in clinical trials for multiple sclerosis (MS).  We dive into how CAR-T cell therapy targets B cells within the central nervous system, offering hope for both relapsing and progressive MS. Dr. Chaudhry explains what sets CAR-T apart from traditional disease modifying therapies, how to get involved in MS clinical trials, and what participants can expect throughout the process.  Whether you’re newly diagnosed or living with MS for years, join us for empowering strategies, expert advice, and the latest updates on breakthroughs in MS treatment!   Bio on Burhan Chaudry:  Dr. Burhan Chaudhry is a MS neurologist and clinical lead at Bristol Myers Squibb.
