What is the Novartis Fingolimod MS Study study?

This study is looking at an oral medication in the treatment of relapsing remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

Who can participate?

People ages 18-55, who have RRMS with at least 1
relapse within the calendar year or 2 relapses
within the past 2 years will be eligible. Patients
cannot be on any other medications for their RRMS
and must be healthy except for their diagnosis.

What do I have to do as a study participant?

If eligible, the patient would have to come to
Virginia Mason at least once a month for the first
6 months of the study. The screening process takes
at least 2 visits and requires a time commitment.
After the first 6 months visits will decrease to
once every 3 months. Each visit will contain lab
work. At various visits patients will have to
undergo a variety of tests such as an ECG, MRI,
PFT's, an eye exam and a skin exam. There will
also be specific tests done by the doctor to rate
their symptoms of RRMS.
