Brief Summary

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

This study will evaluate the effects of Aubagio on changes in the brain using MRI.

Detailed Description

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

Patients who take Aubagio will have an MRI, eye test, have blood taken, and complete a questionnaire on environmental risk factors to evaluate changes in the brain and on disease progression. A healthy control group will also complete the same testing regimen.
