A multicenter open label randomized pilot study, to compare retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measured by Optical Coherence Tomography after treatment with daily 20 mg glatiramer acetate subcutaneously or after no treatment, in patients with a clinical isolated syndrome, other than optic neuritis or early relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis patients - OCT

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: • Clinical definite multiple sclerosis (CDMS) with a disease course more than 3 years • Acute ON or a history of ON • Primary progressive multiple sclerosis • Secondary progressive multiple sclerosis • Current use of any approved or investigational disease modifying agents for the treatment of MS. • Neuromyelitis Optica (Devic’s disease) • Any condition that may interfere with the quality of the OCT scan: clouding of the media, e.i. cataract, pupil which are hard to dilate. • Contra-indications for Copaxone ® as defined in the Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) text • Hypersensitivity to GA or mannitol • Subject's inability to complete the study or if the subject is considered by the investigator to be for any reason, an unsuitable candidate for this study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the feasibility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) measurement in patient with CIS other than optic neuritis (ON) or in patients with early MS in the Dutch clinical setting by qualitative evaluation;Secondary Objective: To assess the efficacy of GA on the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) and visual function in patients with CIS as determined by the mean change in RNFL;Primary end point(s): • Feasibility of OCT measurement in patient with CIS other than ON or with early RRMS in the Dutch clinical setting. • Mean change in RNFL in both eyes determined by OCT at baseline, month 3, month 6, month 9, month 12.
