What it measured

Main measures

  • To describe patients response to fingolimod treatment as Treg/Teffector ratio. The ratio will be evaluated at baseline and at the end of the study (12 months) (also intermediate points will be considered at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, ) and its relative increase will be evaluated. This procedure admit us to take into account the individual variability and the intermediate scheduled evaluation may

Other measures (1)

  • To evaluate cognitive functions of patients at the time of starting fingolimod and after 12 months in order to better describe the patient's clinical status and, consequently, the study drug response.

Inclusion: They will be included in the study patients male or female aged> 18 years, affected from relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis with high disease activity. Patients will be eligible to treatment with fingolimod according to the data sheet of the drug. In summary, they are deemed eligible for treatment with fingolimod patients belonging to one of the following groups: Exclusion: • Patients with HIV (a specific serologic testing for HIV should be conducted prior to initiating treatment with fingolimod).

About this trial

In the sponsor's words

The study of the immunological profile at baseline and its variation during the early stages of treatment with fingolimod could represent a predictor of clinical response to therapy. In particular, a regulatory pattern of lymphocyte subtypes represented by a higher ratio of regulatory T cells than the effector T cells, may be an optimal response markers during therapy with fingolimod.
