    Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, with treatment outcomes improving through targeted immune interventions.

  • 2

    Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) has evolved from treating hematological diseases to being used for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

  • 3

    The study compares the efficacy and safety of two conditioning regimens, BEAM/ATG and cyclophosphamide/ATG, for patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis.

  • 4

    Recent advancements in ASCT have led to improved safety and efficacy, particularly with the shift from high-intensity to intermediate-intensity conditioning regimens.

  • 5

    The primary endpoints of the study include no evidence of disease activity (NEDA) and treatment-related mortality, assessed over multiple follow-up periods.
