Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is planned to evaluate emotional disorders during treatment by interferon (IFN) beta in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) subjects. This is an open-label exploratory study with no change of therapeutic behavior but with standardized neuropsychologic follow-up.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study is planned to evaluate emotional disorders during treatment by IFN beta in RRMS subjects. This is an open-label, prospective, interventional, multicentric study with no change of therapeutic behavior but with standardized neuropsychologic follow-up. Subjects will undergo 13 evaluations (categorical and dimensional evaluations), 3 evaluations will be performed before the treatment (Baseline, Day 7 and 15) and 10 evaluations after the treatment (Month 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24).
