结局指标
主要结局
Multiple Sclerosis Treatment Concern Questionnaire (MSTCQ) Flu-like Symptom Score
时间窗: 4 weeks
This is defined as the sum of the scores for the "side effects" section questions 1-4, with a minimum possible total score of 1 and a maximum possible total score of 20 in the MSTCQ. The lower the score, the better the outcome.
