Study description

Siponimod blocks the action of cell receptors called 'sphingosine-1-phosphate receptors', which are involved in the movement of lymphocytes, thereby preventing the movement of lymphocytes from the lymph nodes to the brain and spinal cord. This redistribution of lymphocytes to secondary lymphoid organs produces a dose-dependent reduction in the number of peripheral lymphocytes. In the EXPAND study, grade 4 lymphopenia was observed in only 1% of patients. Newly marketed drugs require more information about aspects of efficacy or safety that may arise during their use in clinical practice, outside the controlled environment of the clinical trial. Siponimod is subject to additional monitoring, which will expedite the discovery of new information about its safety. In this context, a retrospective observational study is proposed to evaluate the real incidence of lymphopenia and other hematological alterations during, at least, the first three months of treatment with siponimod in real-life patients. A secondary objective will be to analyze the baseline characteristics that potentially predispose to lymphopenia, either by modifying the pharmacokinetic properties (age, sex, CY2C9 genotype, weight, dosage, or duration of treatment) or the pharmacodynamics (previous therapies received and concomitant therapies) of the drug. treatment with siponimod. Finally, it will be analyzed whether the appearance of lymphopenia and/or its intensity predispose to adverse events of an infectious nature.
