Abstract
This invention is directed towards treatments for multiple sclerosis comprising administering to a patient in need thereof a first agent, such as 2- chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine (2-CdA), that reduces the number of lymphocytes in combination with a second agent, such as an anti-alpha-4 integrin antibody, that blocks the adhesion of monocytes and leukocytes to endothelial cells. The use of 2-CdA combined with an anti-alpha-4 integrin antibody may be more effective than either treatment alone for MS. Furthermore, the combination treatment may allow for a lowering or altering the dose of one or more of the agents in order to limit any adverse effects associated with the individual agents, but maintaining the same therapeutic efficacy.
