What is Tolebrutinib?
Tolebrutinib is an experimental oral medication being studied for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, a disease where the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective coating around nerve fibers. It works by blocking a specific protein called Bruton's tyrosine kinase, or BTK, which plays a role in driving the immune system's damaging response. By targeting this protein, tolebrutinib may help slow the progression of nerve damage and reduce inflammation in the brain and spinal cord.
