Trial Outcomes & Findings for POC-MD MRI-based Trial in Relapsing-remitting Multiple Scler (NCT NCT01051817)

NCT ID: NCT01051817

Last Updated: 2015-02-27

Results Overview

Combined unique active lesions (CUAL) observed on brain MRI scans performed every 4th week from week 4 to week 24 in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). CUAL is defined as: new gadolinium (Gd)-enhancing lesions on T1-weighted, or new or enlarging lesions on T2-weighted MRI scans, without double counting.
