Inclusion criteria

* Diagnosis of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) * ability to consent and a written approval * First acute ON attack to the fit eye within 30 days before screening * Age 18 - 55 years at screening * EDSS ≤ 6.0 * No MS Attack except for ON in the last 30 days before screening * No immunomodulatory therapy for at least three Months (before randomization), or * strong immunomodulatory therapy with interferon beta or glatiramer acetate for at least 6 months * visus in the affected eye at least 0.1 * latency of Conventional VEP in the affected eye * = 115 ms or difference> = 15 ms to the opposite side at a Study at least 4 but no more than 6 weeks after Onset of clinical symptoms * At least 2 T2 lesions typical of MS in a previous MRI

Exclusion criteria

* other MS course than RRMS * any condition which could interfere or prevent the MRI study or other investigations * known allergy or intolerance, or other contraindication against Gd-DTPA * Patients with known contraindications to treatment with fingolimod (Gilenya ®) or interferon beta-1b Extavia ® * Competing diseases which could affect visual functions such as diabetic, retinopathy, glaucoma, retinal detachment

As registered. Criteria can change, so ask the trial team or your neurologist.

About this trial

In the sponsor's words

In the MOVING study should be examined, whether early therapeutic intervention with fingolimod (Gilenya ®) after optic neuritis(ON) has a favorable visual outcome as a comparative therapie with Interferon beta-1b (Extavia®), as measured by multifocal visual evoked potentials (mVEP) after 6 month compared to baseline.
