Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study is not testing a new drug. Instead, it will observe 800 people with relapsing multiple sclerosis in Germany who are already taking approved injectable or oral medications. Researchers will track how long patients stick with their prescribed treatment over up to four years, using questionnaires and medical records. The goal is to understand real-world treatment patterns, not to cure or control the disease directly.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
