Active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) is a stage of MS where there is ongoing disease activity. This can be identified through:

- MRI Scans: Showing active inflammation.
- Disability Testing: Indicating progression of disability.

For active and progressing SPMS, doctors may recommend more aggressive treatments. FDA-approved disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) for SPMS include:
- Mavenclad (cladribine)
- Mayzent (siponimod)
- Novantrone (mitoxantrone)

These treatments aim to manage inflammation and slow disease progression.
