简要总结

The long-term objective is to further establish the role of Tysabri in preventing neurological degeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS) and to establish powerful and efficient new markers for neurological degeneration in MS. The study intends to correlate cognition with two instruments and their measurements-MRI and OCT (optical coherence tomography).

详细描述

The specific aims are:

  1. To determine the effects of Tysabri on cognition (memory, thought processes, etc.)
  2. To determine the effects of Tysabri on specific MRI markers for cognitive dysfunction
  3. To determine the effects of Tysabri on retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL) using optical coherence tomography (OCT), a special instrument used in ophthalmology

结局指标

主要结局

Change in Cognitive Function Over Time

时间窗: Baseline, 48 weeks, 96 weeks

Cognitive function was assessed using the oral version of the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT). The number of correct responses in 90 seconds was recorded (possible range 0-110). For analysis, SDMT scores were converted to z-scores using published age and education based norms. A negative z-score indicates a SDMT score below the mean based on the age and education based norms, for example a z-score of -2 = 2 standard deviations below the mean; a positive z-score indicating a score above the mean. Higher scores indicate better cognitive function.

次要结局

  • Change Over Time in Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness(Baseline, 24, 48, 72, and 96 weeks)
  • Change Over Time in Normalized Thalamic Volume(Baseline, 48 weeks, 96 weeks)
  • Change Over Time in Normalized Hippocampal Volume(Baseline, 48 weeks, 96 weeks)
  • Change Over Time in Brain Parenchymal Fraction(Baseline, 48 weeks, 96 weeks)
