Trial design
Randomised, open-label, continuation of current moderate efficacy therapy (treatment continuation arm) versus treatment discontinuation (stop disease-modifying therapy). continuing therapies include mets used in the study population (examples in product list: ifn-β formulations such as avonex 30 micrograms im, rebif 44 micrograms sc, betaferon 250 micrograms sc; glatiramer acetate 20 mg sc; dimethyl fumarate 240 mg oral; teriflunomide 14 mg oral; diroximel fumarate 231 mg oral) used according to their marketing authorisations. no other active comparator drug is specified.-controlled Phase III trial in France.
