What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The adherence to treatment (rate of patients continuing with Betaferon® regimen after 24 months)

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (10)

  1. Compliance to Betaferon according physician (rate of patients with compliance rater > 94,5%)

    Measured: 6 months, 12 months, 24 months

  2. Adherence to treatment (rate of patients continuing with the Betaferon® regimen at 6 and 12 months)

    Measured: 6 months, 12 months

  3. Rate of patients with prematurely study discontinuation

    Measured: 0-6 months, 6-12 months, 12-18 months, 18-24 months

  4. Patient's autonomy with regard to the Betaferon® injections (Number of injections realized by the patient alone/total number of injections)

    Measured: 24 months

  5. Tolerability of Betaferon injections (rate and number of injections)

    Measured: 24 months

  6. Patient's Quality of Life (Mean total score of FAMS [Functional Assessment of Multiple Sclerosis])

    Measured: 24 months

  7. Fatigue (mean total score of FSS [Fatigue Severity scale])

    Measured: 24 months

  8. Progression of clinical Condition( annual rate of Relapses)

    Measured: 24 months

  9. Percentage of patients with change of in EDSS (Expanded Disability Status Scale) < 1 between M0 and end of the study

    Measured: 24 months

  10. Percentage of patients with change in EDSS< 1 and no relapse between M0 and M24

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Sclerosis, run by Bayer at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Jul 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The adherence to treatment (rate of patients continuing with Betaferon® regimen after 24 months) (time frame: 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01076595.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Jul 2015.
