NCT05528666

Brief Summary

This study was a retrospective, non-interventional, cross-sectional, multi-cohort study of patients clinically diagnosed with RMS (RRMS and SPMS). Patients were classified according to the immediate previous treatment in two groups, those who were prescribed with high efficacy treatments (HETs) and those who were prescribed with non-high efficacy treatments (non-HETs). HET include alemtuzumab, ofatumumab, ocrelizumab, natalizumab, cladribine, fingolimod and ozanimod; and non-HETs include molecules classified as with moderate or modest efficacy such as: interferons, glatiramer acetate, dimethyl fumarate and teriflunomide.

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

The study cohort consisted of RRMS and SPMS patients identified in the Adelphi Real World MS Disease Specific Program (DSP) (2017-2021) with a current and previous treatment at index date, and whose physician decided to switch their treatment.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients included in the database with a diagnosis of RRMS and SPMS.
  • Patients with current treatment at the index date.
  • Patients with previous treatment at the index date.
  • Patients to whom the physician decided to switch the treatment from the previous treatment to current treatment at the index date.
  • Patients (males \& females) with 18 years or older at index date.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients included in the database with the diagnosis of primary progressive MS (PPMS).
  • Patients with other major neurological or psychiatric condition, which could potentially hinder the analysis.
