  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with relapsing forms of MS that have been recently initiated on fingolimod by their treating physician or patients that are treated with other disease-modifying therapies as part of their MS treatment in accordance with the respective local prescribing information and routine clinical practice

Who may be able to join

  • Patients that as part of their routine clinical care and according to the locally approved label, are either;
  • Starting fingolimod at time of study entry.
  • Starting another approved DMT or started within maximum 6 months prior to study entry.
  • Patients, or a able legal representative of the patient, who are willing to provide written informed consent.
  • Fingolimod patients will constitute the fingolimod cohort while patients with the other DMT will constitute the parallel cohort

Who cannot join

  • Patients previously or currently treated with a cytotoxic agent (e.g. mitoxantrone, cladribine, alemtuzumab) or natalizumab
  • Patients participating simultaneously in another study with inclusion/exclusion criteria more restrictive than the label or an interventional study unless this is a study on fingolimod lasting 1 month maximum
  • Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Sclerosis, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 238 sites in 7 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 14 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 238 sites in United States, Canada, Argentina, Australia, Mexico and 2 more countries. 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?

For each of the selected safety outcomes, number of patients with a reported event since study start (time frame: Patients will be followed for an expected average of 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Jan 2022.
