MOdification of VIsual Outcomes After Optic Neuritis in CIS or MS by Gilenya (MOVING Study) (MOVING)

July 28, 2021 updated by: Friedemann Paul, Charite University, Berlin, Germany

Phase II/III Study to Investigate the Effects of Fingolimod Versus Interferon Beta-1b on Visual Recovery After Optic Neuritis

In the MOVING study should be examined, whether early therapeutic intervention with fingolimod (Gilenya ®) after optic neuritis(ON) has a favorable visual outcome as a comparative therapie with Interferon beta-1b (Extavia®), as measured by multifocal visual evoked potentials (mVEP) after 6 month compared to baseline.
