About

The purpose of the study is to describe the safety profile of fingolimod in the Taiwanese multiple sclerosis population. This study aims to collect the safety data in patients newly initiated on fingolimod for one year.

Full description

This is a 12-month, prospective, interventional, multi-center study to monitor safety in adult patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) in Taiwan who based on local practice are newly starting fingolimod at the time of study entry.

Thirty-four patients will be included in this study in line with the study inclusion and exclusion criteria. After entering this study, the participants will continue to be treated for MS based on local practice. The patient will be taking fingolimod 0.5mg per day. Protocol-mandated procedures and visits for safety data collection will be conducted in addition to the required examinations according to the clinical practice.

If a patient experienced an interruption of fingolimod treatment that requires a re-evaluation of FDO, the patient will be discontinued from the study. If the treatment interruption does not require a FDO when re-starting fingolimod, the patient can continue to participate in this study.
