Brief Summary

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

The investigators hypothesize that serum neurofilament-light chain (NfL) levels at baseline and decrease of the macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness at one year vs. baseline are as good as progression of whole brain atrophy at one year vs. baseline to predict later evolution of neurological disability in multiple sclerosis patients.
