Background: As healthcare management of highly active-relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (HA-RRMS) patients is more complex than for the whole multiple sclerosis (MS) population, this study assessed the related economic burden from a National Health Insurance's (NHI's) perspective.

Research Design And Methods: Study based on French NHI databases, using individual data on billing and reimbursement of outpatient and hospital healthcare consumption, paid sick leave and disability pension, over 2010-2017.

Results: Of the 9,596 HA-RRMS adult patients, data from 7,960 patients were analyzed with at least 2 years of follow-up.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the mechanisms associated with antitumor activity and resistance to F11782, a novel dual catalytic inhibitor of topoisomerases with DNA repair-inhibitory properties.

Experimental Design: For that purpose, an F11782-resistant P388 leukemia subline (P388/F11782) has been developed in vivo and characterized.

Results: Weekly subtherapeutic doses of F11782 (10 mg/kg) induced complete resistance to F11782 after 8 weekly passages.
