What Is PONVORY®? | PONVORY® (ponesimod)

PONVORY® is used to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults

PONVORY® was proven to help control the symptoms and signs of relapsing MS

In the ~2-year clinical study, PONVORY® was:

relapsing-year

SUPERIOR at reducing the number of relapses per year vs a proven oral therapy (Aubagio®)

lesions-year

SUPERIOR at reducing the number of lesions vs a proven oral therapy (Aubagio®)*

3-month disability

SIMILAR at slowing 3-month disability progression vs a proven oral therapy (Aubagio®). There was no statistically significant difference in the percentages of people experiencing disability progression between PONVORY® and Aubagio®

*PONVORY® reduced the average number of new gadolinium-enhancing T1 and new or enlarging T2 lesions.

How does PONVORY® work?

If you have MS, your body’s own immune cells attack your central nervous system (CNS).

The exact way PONVORY® works in MS is unknown, but it is believed to work by reducing the number of immune cells, called lymphocytes, in the blood. This may help keep lymphocytes out of the CNS where they could cause damage.
