Brief Summary

FutureMS is a project created in direct response to frequent questions people with MS ask their doctors. Every person newly diagnosed wants to know how MS will affect them over their life and what can be done to stop the disease progressing and improve their quality of life. FutureMS aims to help answer those questions. The original FutureMS study provided a snapshot of the impact of MS within a year of diagnosis. However, MS is a long-term condition and so the investigators now want to better understand the impact of MS, on the same individuals, after approximately 5 and 10 years of living with MS. This is the purpose of FutureMS-2.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Disease activity defined by new or enlarging T2 hyperintense lesion count on MR brain imaging at 5 years and 10 years of diagnosis with relapsing-remitting MS

    Primary objective

    at 5 and 10 years after diagnosis of relapsing - remitting MS

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Disease activity defined by the composite endpoint of new or enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions on MR brain imagingneurodegeneration and regenerative markers of disease activity

    at 5 and 10 years after diagnosis of relapsing - remitting MS

  • clinical relapse at 5 and 10 years of diagnosis with relapsing-remitting MS

    at 5 and 10 years after diagnosis of relapsing - remitting MS

Study Population

The overwhelming majority (98%) of FutureMS participants have given consent to be approached for future research. The study aims to retain 90% of the consented FutureMS cohort. The majority of participants that took part in FutureMS gave their consent to be contacted about future ethically approved research. These participants will be contact directly by a phone, email or post by the study team.

You may qualify if:

  • Previous participants in FutureMS cohort
  • Capacity to provide informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Not a participant of FutureMS inception cohort
  • Contraindication to MR brain imaging

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

To ensure data transparency, the results of any closed comparisons will be published in a peer reviewed journal as soon as it is possible when the integrity of the study will not be affected. Individual level participant data will be shared, after de-identification, upon receipt of a valid request. Some data may be shared prior to the publication of study results depending on the requirements, however, no end point data will be released without explicit need. Each data request form will be individually reviewed to ensure the proposal has a valid rationale and appropriate methodology. Only data required for the project will be shared. A summary of results will be provided to all participants via newsletters and the Anne Rowling Clinic's website.

Shared Documents
STUDY PROTOCOL, SAP, ICF, ANALYTIC CODE
Time Frame
After publication of study results, no end date.
Access Criteria
Data will be shared with researchers who provide a methodologically sound proposal to achieve the aims of the proposal only. Data sharing request forms are available from future-ms@ed.ac.uk. Requesters will need to sign a data access agreement prior to being provided with access to data.
