Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The main purpose of the registry is to produce long-term safety data on oral cladribine in multiple sclerosis (MS) by estimating the frequency and risk factors for defined study events over a long period extending beyond cladribine exposure, in a population of subjects who have been exposed to oral cladribine in Sponsor selected clinical studies and their relative extensions.;Secondary Objective: •Assess the long-term safety of cladribine by measuring the frequency of MDS, hematological toxicity, taking into account potential risk factors •Describe the demographic and MS disease characteristics of subjects who experience and those who do not experience study events •Explore the occurrence of selected and severe infections, malignancies, deaths, MDS, hematological toxicity and pregnancies and pregnancy outcomes in relation to the cumulative dose and length of exposure to cladribine •Put into perspective the findings in the registry by comparing the study events occurring in the cladribine treated population to an internal comparison group or available external populations •Describe the rate of recurrence of study events in subjects who have had an incident event accounting for the total person-time of follow-up •Describe the occurrence of other clinically relevant;Primary end point(s): • Cumulative incidence of severe and selected infections, malignancies, and deaths • Assessment of cumulative incidence patterns over time since first exposure to cladribine/placebo; • Time to resolution of lymphopenia, among registry participants with persistent lymphopenia; • Frequency of pregnancies and pregnancy outcomes (spontaneous abortion, elected abortion, stillbirth, and live birth—full term, premature, overdue, and presence of congenital anomalies) occurring among female subjects exposed to cladribine, as well as among female partners of male subjects in the program, and developmental disabilities, structural malformations, or o | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): • Cumulative incidence of MDS, and hematological toxicity; • Descriptive analyses of demographic and MS disease characteristics of subjects who experience and those who do not experience study events; • Hazard ratios for severe and selected infections, malignancies, and deaths in cladribine exposed subjects compared with cladribine unexposed subjects or low cumulative cladribine exposure groups; • Rate of recurrence of study events in subjects who have had an incident events, accounting for the total person-time of follow-up; • Frequency of clinically relevant events other than selected and severe infections, malignancies, deaths, MDS, and hematological toxicity.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Preliminary analyses of the primary and secondary endpoints will be conducted when 2 years of follow-up data are available for 1000 subjects after registry enrollment. Thereafter these analyses will be conducted every 2 years. | — |
