Tecfidera Lymphocyte Chart Review

Completed
Conditions
Multiple Sclerosis
Registration Number
NCT02519413
Lead Sponsor
Biogen
Brief Summary

The primary objective of the study is to retrospectively investigate changes in lymphocyte counts and lymphocyte subtypes, with a focus on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, in participants on Tecfidera therapy for at least 6 months. The secondary objective is to investigate changes in lymphocyte subtypes other than CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
