• Study description:
  This pragmatic, prospective observational cohort study is planned to run for 7 years to estimate the frequency of serious adverse events with real world DMT use in routine clinical practice in the UK. It is a non-interventional cohort study. The study will recruit people with MS on treatment from major MS care clinics across the country, as well as those starting, switching or potentially eligible for treatment, but who are not currently taking DMT. This study will provide – for the first time - an estimate of overall rates of serious adverse events associated with DMT (including multiple sclerosis relapses or opportunistic infections) in the UK population with MS. It will facilitate a way of exploring related questions regarding the relative benefits vs risks of treatment and the influence of prior treatments on adverse events.
