Got my first appointment with an 'internationally acclaimed' researcher/neurologist in London UK, towards the end of May. This could be massive!! #NewmuneSystemPlease #aHSCT #BringIt (with bells on please!)
My first #AHSCT patient: 25 years of NEDA-3. No relapses, no MRI activity, improved EDSS, no DMTs.
75% of RRMS patients treated with BEAM+ATG at CReSM San Luigi (Orbassano) are in #NEDA-3.
This opportunity must reach more patients. AHSCT needs to be a research priority.

About this, the story is nothing new. Tried 2 DMTs, and I sent out a cry for help looking for the #aHSCT. That email blast to researchers circled back to a doctor in portugal who had performed the procedure in Coimbra. It was thanks to her that I had that chance.
Thank you to @gavingiovannoni.bsky.social for writing this over 2 years ago. Thought provoking and will contribute to my discussions with my neuro.

Next MRI's booked in for pre-empting #AHSCT treatment for #MS. I doubt I'll meet the eligibility criteria, but let's allow #CharingCross Hospital to make that decision. Happy Christmas everyone, let 2026 bring stem cell transplantation! 🙏🏼😊😂
Enquiry about #AHSCT, #PIRA and arriving at a #HyperbaricOxygen Chamber over the next 72hrs. Oh yeah and I'll work a little bit too! Busy week ahead with many questions and hopefully some answers as well #MS
New review out
AHSCT remains the most potent disease-modifying therapy for selected patients with rapidly progressive #dSSc and ILD
🔸RCT evidence, immune reconstitution, long-term outcomes, and future directions

Mariottini et al., 2025: "Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation affects long-term progression independent of relapse activity in aggressive multiple sclerosis: a comparative matched study"
New JNNP study: In aggressive #RRMS, AHSCT greatly reduced PIRA: 10% over 10 years vs 49% in patients moving from natalizumab to other DMTs. Findings suggest #AHSCT may target the silent, smoldering processes that drive MS progression.

An analysis by curems.net, which compiles comparative studies (including Kalincik’s), shows that no DMT is superior to AHSCT, either in clinical or radiological outcomes.
Kalincik et al. ( #ECTRIMS 2025) compared #AHSCT (152 pts) vs anti-CD20 (Ocrelizumab 752, Rituximab 107).
#AHSCT showed better ARR and EDSS improvement, with no difference in worsening. No DMT outperforms AHSCT in #RRMS.

Day 9 of #aHSCT and I'm hooked up to the apheresis machine. I'm on course to hit the required 2,000,000 stem cells #multiplesclerosis #ms
