Purpose

To enhance and standardize the remote monitoring of people living with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) in order to improve the assessment of disease worsening. Whether due to relapse-associated worsening (RAW) or progression independent of relapses (PIRA). This research will also be used to validate the clinical performance, safety, and usability of MSCopilot® Detect. It will also assess the satisfaction of both the patients, and healthcare professionals.

Patient Population

Adult patients living with Relapsing Remitting MS or Secondary Progressive MS, ages 30-65. Clinically stable patients experiencing minimal disability, isolated to at least two functional systems, to moderate disability including ambulatory difficulty with unilateral assistance.

Research Method

MS-DETECT is an international, low-intervention, open clinical study. During the study, patients will be required to attend four visits at six-month intervals. If a patient is found to be progressing at 18 months, a fifth visit will be scheduled for the 24-month mark to confirm their progression. Patients will be asked to perform digital tests and e-questionnaires on their smartphones using the MSCopilot® Detect application, electronic Patient Reported Outcomes (ePROs) and Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system from home and in clinic.
