Dimethyl fumarate is an agent indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.[A253942,L43752] The mechanism of action of dimethyl fumarate in multiple sclerosis is not well understood. It is thought to involve dimethyl fumarate degradation to its active metabolite monomethyl fumarate (MMF) then MMF up-regulates the Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) pathway that is activated in response to oxidative stress. Dimethyl fumarate is marketed under the brand name Tecfidera, and it was the third oral disease-modifying agent for multiple sclerosis approved by the FDA, following [fingolimod] and [teriflunomide]. Prior to its FDA approval, dimethyl fumarate had been used in Germany for treatment of psoriasis.
Atezolizumab is a humanized monoclonal antibody used to prevent the interaction of PD-L1 and PD-1, removing inhibition of immune responses seen in some cancers.[A18493,L7489] This medication is reserved for patients whose tumors express PD-L1, cannot receive platinum-based chemotherapy, or whose tumors do not respond to platinum-based chemotherapy. Atezolizumab was granted FDA approval on 18 October 2016. In November 2022, the manufacturer (Genentech) voluntarily withdrew the use of atezolizumab for the treatment of urothelial carcinoma, previously approved under the FDA's Accelerated Approval Program. The rest of atezolizumab indications remain unaffected.
