Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants with Oral Dimethyl Fumarate (DMF) Persistence at 6 Months6 months

Persistence is defined as the percentage of participant still being treated by oral DMF at 6 months, according to routine visit.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Participant's Anxiety at Inclusion and at 6 Months0 months and 6 months

Participant's anxiety is assessed through the Generalized Anxiety Disorder - 7 (GAD-7) self-questionnaire. The GAD-7 is a questionnaire that is used primarily to detect possible generalized anxiety disorders, disorders of panic, social anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is more specifically a self-questionnaire (completed by the participant) consisting of 7 items rated from 0 to 3. The total score is obtained by adding the score obtained to each item (score ranging from 0 to 21). A total score greater than 7 is suggestive of a generalized anxiety disorder.

Participant's Satisfaction Regarding Dimethyl Fumarate (DMF) Treatment at 6 Months6 months

Participant's satisfaction regarding DMF treatment is assessed through the validated Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) score completed by the participant. The TSQM-9, a 9-items questionnaire, designed as a general measure of treatment satisfaction with medication. TSQM items are answered on 5- or 7-point Likert type scale and cover three domains, corresponding to distinct aspects related to the satisfaction of participants with their treatment (effectiveness, convenience and global satisfaction). A score can be obtained for each domain by summing the corresponding items transformed on a 0-100 scale. Higher value indicates more satisfaction, better perceived effectiveness, lower burden associated with better convenience.

Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs)up to 6 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.

Participant's Satisfaction Regarding their Participation in OroSEP Patient Support Program (PSP)6 month

Participant's satisfaction is assessed at Month 6 using a questionnaire completed by the participant consisting of 3 questions. Questions 1 and 2 are assessed using a Likert scale (1-5) with scale range 1= Strongly disagree to 5= Strongly agree. Question 3 is assessed using the net promoter scale (1-7), where 1 indicates "not at all likely" and 7 indicates "extremely likely". Higher values indicate higher satisfaction.

Neurologists' Satisfaction Regarding their Participation in OroSEP Patient Support Program (PSP)up to 6 months

Neurologist's satisfaction is assessed after the last participant last visit of the site center using a 10-item questionnaire, completed by the physician. Question (Q) 1, Q3, Q4, Q6, Q7, Q8= is answered "Yes/No"; Q2= Lack of time, Lack of interest, Patient refused, Forget, No registration form available, Registration process too complicated / Other: specify; Q5= The availability of the call center, The monitoring of patient compliance, The coordination of biological assessments, Other: specify; Q9: 1 bad satisfaction, 10 good satisfaction and Q10 was an open answer.

Percentage of Participants with Oral Dimethyl Fumarate (DMF) Persistence at Both 1 Month and 3 Months1 month and 3 months

Persistence is defined as the percentage of participants still being treated by oral DMF at both 1 month and 3 months, according to routine practice.

Percentage of Participant's with Adherence at 6 Months6 months

Participant's adherence is assessed through the validated Girerd questionnaire. This is a 6-item self-questionnaire completed by participants with a scale of 0 for "Yes" and 1 for "No" for each question. Points for each question are summed up to obtain a global score between 0 if all the questions are ticked with "Yes" (reflecting a bad adherence), and 6 if all questions are ticked "No" (reflecting a good adherence).

Percentage of Participants by Reason of Oral Dimethyl Fumarate (DMF) Discontinuation at 3 Months and 6 Months3 month and 6 months

Discontinuation of DMF therapy is defined by the presence of any of the following criteria: definitive discontinuation declared by the physician during routine follow-up visit through electronic case report form (eCRF); a temporary stop declared by the physician during routine visit at 3 months, without DMF resumption declared at 6 months by the physician; a switch to another DMT declared by the physician during routine follow-up visit through eCRF.

Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) Related to Treatmentup to 6 months
Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Treatment Discontinuationup to 6 months
Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) of Interestup to 6 months

AEs of interest includes gastrointestinal disorders, flush, lymphopenia.
