About this study

Official title: A Multinational, Multicenter, Single Visit, Exploratory Pharmacogenetic Trial and Long-term Follow-up of the PRISMS (Prevention of Relapses and Disability by Interferon Beta-1a Subcutaneously in Multiple Sclerosis) Trial

This study, PRISMS-15 is a single visit, exploratory pharmacogenetic trial and long-term follow-up of the PRISMS (Prevention of Relapses and Disability by Interferon beta-1a Subcutaneously in Multiple Sclerosis) trial.

The aim of this trial is to provide additional data on the driving factors of IFN beta response and the long-term outcomes of Rebif® treatment.

This is a Phase IV trial involving subjects who previously participated in the PRISMS trial. To address the trial objectives, a single visit will be performed, at least 3 months after the onset of the last relapse.

What does the primary outcome measure?
