Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is the miRNA profle in blood or CSF. The main clinical enpoint in the longitudinal study is the conversion from RR-MS to SP-MS. These data will be used to develop and validate a miRNA profile based test for the accurate identification of conversion to SPMS. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In addition analysis of observed miRNA profiles in different MS-types will provide insight in the (differences in) underlying disease mechanisms. | — |
