Brief Summary

This study aims to describe participants characteristics that can predict the safety and effectiveness of cladribine tablets, as assessed by time-to-discontinuation of treatment with cladribine tablets, and to assess other patient-reported, clinical, and imaging outcomes in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) in the long term, in a real-world setting.

This study enrolls participants with a confirmed diagnosis of RMS (with high disease activity) who have been prescribed, have initiated, or have completed/discontinued treatment with cladribine tablets per the decision of the treating physician.

You may qualify if:

  • Adult participants, male or female patients ≥ 18 years old at index date
  • Participants must voluntarily give written informed consent form (ICF). Patients must read and fully understand the ICF
  • Participants with confirmed diagnosis of RMS at index date, diagnosed by the treating physician according to applicable clinical practice guidelines (currently McDonald 2017 criteria), with high disease activity.
  • Required historical data should be available: number of relapses in the 12 months prior to index date, DMTs taken prior to index date, date of MS diagnosis, and data of at least 1 MRI prior to index date as specified in the drug Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC)
  • Fulfillment of the indication for treatment with cladribine tablets at index date, per standard of care in accordance with the local SmPC
  • Meeting 1 of the following criteria:
  • Prospective participants: Having been prescribed with cladribine tablets or having taken at least one dose of cladribine tablets, with enrollment date prior to the second treatment week
  • Retrospective participants: Having taken at least one dose of cladribine tablets, with enrollment date during or after the second treatment week but not more than 3 years after the first dose of cladribine tablets

You may not qualify if:

  • Contraindications to use of cladribine tablets according to the SmPC.
  • Any participant who had the first dose of cladribine tablets more than 3 years prior to enrollment
