Conditions

Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Brief summary

Primary Objective: To assess the distribution of IARs by severity grade when LEMTRADA is administered to RRMS patients who will be medicated according to specified algorithm designed to manage infusion associated reactions.

Detailed description

The total duration of participation in the study per patient is approximately 13.5 months. After the end of the second course of LEMTRADA treatment, patients will be followed by their physician in a regular healthcare setting until 48 months safety monitoring period is completed.
