Summary

This study looks at whether a blood test measuring a protein called neurofilament light (sNfL) can help doctors predict and manage disease activity in people with relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). About 489 adults with MS in Germany will be observed for 24 months. The goal is to see how often high sNfL levels occur and whether this information leads to better treatment decisions.
