Overview

Volunteers who take the drug Tecfidera for their multiple sclerosis (MS) will be asked to complete up to 6 questionnaires over a period of 5 years. We will collect information on any serious side effects that may occur in patients taking Tecfidera™ (for example, serious infections, liver and kidney problems, cancers, and any other serious side effects). Information on relapses, disability progression, and the quality of life in patients taking Tecfidera™ will also be collected.

We hope to better understand the benefits and risks of long term treatment with Tecfidera™ in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).
