Episode 387: Inside the TEAAMS Study with Ashli and Victoria

The TEAAMS study examines the effects of a remotely delivered, racially-tailored exercise training program among African-Americans with MS, who are living in low-income areas of the Southeastern United States, which is a part of the country that doesn't have many primary care or MS clinics that provide full exercise and rehabilitation services for patients with MS. Ashli, who lives with MS and has completed the TEAAMS program, and Victoria, a behavioral coach who has worked with several study participants, join me this week to share their experiences in the study. We're also talking about a new Phase1/2 clinical trial for another investigative CAR-T therapy. (And we'll explain what a Phase 1/2 trial is) We'll tell you about TG Therapeutics' plans for Briumvi, as well as their investigative CAR-T therapy. We'll tell you about the Phase 2 clinical trial for Contineum Therapeutics' oral remyelination therapy. We'll share the details of a study that shows ballroom dancing delivers both physical and psychological benefits to people with MS.  We'll share some potentially good news about managing MS-related fatigue. And we'll give you a new opportunity to participate in MS research. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
