Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess efficacy of Vitamin D supplementation in relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis ;Secondary Objective: To assess safety and compatibility of Vitamin D supplementation in relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis To compare secondary endpoints between the verum and placebo group ;Primary end point(s): Cumulative number of new hyperintense lesions in T2-weighted cranial MR imaging ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 18 months treatment | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Annualized relapse rate, proportion of relapse-free patients, disease progression, percentage of patients without disease activity, proportion of patients with a conversion into a definitive MS (only in CIS patients), other MRI parameters (number / volume of new hypointense T1 lesions, brain atrophy, number of lesions absorbing contrast agent, spectroscopy) cognition, fatigue, depression, Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and macular volume, visual contrast sensitivity, 25OH vitamin D serum levels, quality of life, immunological parameters ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 18 months treatment | — |
