Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective of the study is to assess the BG00012 treatment effect on cognition over 2 year period in RRMS patients;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of this study is to further assess BG-12 treatment effect on cognition, predictors of cognitive impairment, clinical efficacy, and patient reported outcomes. In additional the relationship between cognition and patient reported outcome on depression, fatigue, quality of life, and work and social life activity will be examined. Additional Assessment: - any adverse event (including relapses) that could occur throughout the study - comparison of Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS) versus Rao’s Brief Repeatable Battery of Neuropsychological Tests (BRB) together with Stroop Test as a screening tool of cognitive impairment in patients with RRMS.;Primary end point(s): Proportion of patients with worsening in CI.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: over 2 years | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): •Change in cognitive impairment index score (CII) over two years •Annualized relapse rate (ARR) at year 1 and year 2. Proportion of relapse at year 1 and year 2, and time to relapse over 2 years. •Proportion of patients with 6-month sustained progression of disability • Assessment of baseline demographic, disease characteristics and related patient reported outcomes that predict CI at two years. •Change from baseline over two years in patient reported outcomes: - Depression - Fatigue- Quality of life- Work/social life activity;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: see above | — |
