What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of participants who had one or more adverse events

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  2. Annual Relapse Rate (ARR)

    The annual relapse rate (ARR) after the start of treatment will be calculated throughout study.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in the number of lesions from brain MRI findings

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  2. Changes in functional evaluation scores (Expanded Disability Status Scale [EDSS])

    EDSS is a method of quantifying disability in multiple sclerosis and monitoring changes in the level of disability over time. EDSS scale ranges from 0 to 10 in 0.5 unit increments and higher score refers to people with higher levels of disability by multiple sclerosis.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

  3. Changes in functional evaluation scores (Functional Systems [FS])

    FS is based on a standard neurological examination; the 7 functional systems plus "other" (Pyramidal, Cerebellar, Brainstem, Sensory, Bowel and bladder function, Visual function, Cerebral \[or mental\] functions, other) are rated. Each FS is scored on a scale of 0 (no disability) to 5 or 6 (more severe disability), and total score ranging from 0 to 40. Higher score in each functional system refers to people with higher levels of disability by multiple sclerosis.

    Time frame: Up to 24 months
