Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Determination of disease progression of subjects treated with Gilenya over 2 years

    Changes in number of new and enlarging T2 lesions by MRI between baseline and Year 2 will be compared with immune biomarkers (Teff:Treg ratio)

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Change in cognitive function in patients treated with Gilenya

    2 years

  • Changes in biologic measures in patients treated with Gilenya

    2 years

  • Safety and tolerability of Gilenya therapy will be assessed

    2 years

Study Arms (1)

Gilenya treatment

Gilenya oral form once a day

Drug: Gilenya

Interventions

All patients will receive Gilenya

Also known as: fingolimod
Gilenya treatment

Study Population

Patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis deemed by their treating physician to be a suitable candidate for Gilenya therapy

You may qualify if:

  • Deemed by the subject's treating physician to be a suitable candidate for Gilenya therapy in accordance with the Canadian Product Monograph for Gilenya
  • has an overall EDSS not above 7.0
  • is not currently receiving Gilenya
  • is able to perform adequately for EDSS assessment and cognitive tests
  • is able to undergo a MRI
  • is able to provide blood samples

You may not qualify if:

  • is over 65 years of age and under 18 years of age
