Brief Summary
- To examine short- and long-term value of appearance of new active lesions in predicting extent of cortical and subcortical deep gray matter (SDGM) atrophy over 5 years in ASA (Avonex- Steroid-Azathioprine)study.
- To explore how accumulation of cortical and SDGM atrophy over 5 years differs with respect to the number of new active lesions or amount of disease activity, in early relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients who did or did not develop sustained disability progression.
- To examine the relationship between development of cortical and SDGM atrophy and regional likelihood of development of new active lesions over 5 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Lesion Activity
Assessment of lesion activity in the 0-6 and 6-12 months in the ASA study will allow the classification of patients with respect to the number of new active lesions over short-term (over 1 year) in order to examine predictive value of MRI disease activity in relation to development of long-term (5 year) cortical and SDGM atrophy.
5 years
Study Arms (1)
Mulitple Sclerosis
Patients with relapsing-remitting MS who had a MRI as part of their participation in the ASA study.
