Brief Summary

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

Acthar Gel was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1952.

It has been used to treat many different illnesses, including multiple sclerosis.

This study will observe how treatment with Acthar affected the daily lives of patients who suffer with relapsing/remitting MS.

It will collect information on symptoms, recovery, treatment patterns and safety outcomes.

Detailed Description

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

Acthar Gel (repository corticotropin injection) contains a non-bovine analogue of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) for intramuscular or subcutaneous use.

It was initially approved by the FDA in 1952 and is used for multiple indications.

This registry will evaluate the use of Acthar Gel for the treatment of MS exacerbations in the United States.
