A Study of Suboptimally Controlled Participants Previously Taking Oral or Infusion DMDs for RMS (MASTER-2)

Cladribine Tablets: Observational Evaluation of Effectiveness and PROs in Suboptimally Controlled Patients Previously Taking Oral or Infusion DMDs for RMS (MASTER-2)

To evaluate the effectiveness, safety and Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) of cladribine tablets in participants with RMS including relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (aSPMS), who transition to cladribine tablets after suboptimal response to any oral or infusion Disease-Modifying Drugs (DMDs) approved in the United States (US) for RMS in a real-world-setting.

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Cladribine Tablets
No intervention will be administered as a part of this study. Participants who had decided prior to enrollment to transition from any oral or infusion DMD to treatment with cladribine tablets under routine clinical care and who meet all eligibility criteria will receive an initial treatment course with cladribine tablets in Year 1 and are planned to receive a second course in Year 2, as per the approved United States Prescribing Information (USPI). Data sources for this study will include data extracts from participants' medical records performed by site personnel as well as questionnaires directly filled out by participants.
No intervention will be administered as a part of this study. Participants will receive cladribine tablets as per investigator discretion and as per United States approved label: 3.5 milligram/kilogram (mg/kg) body weight over 2 years, administered as 1 treatment course of 1.75 mg/kg per year.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR)
Time Frame: From first dose of cladribine tablets up to 24 months
A relapse was defined as per routine clinical practice as determined by the investigator. As a guide, relapse may be defined as exacerbation of symptoms that occur over a minimum of 24 hours and separated from a previous attack by at least 30 days, in the absence of fever or infection. ARR was calculated as the total number of reported relapses in the 24 months after treatment divided by the days on study corresponding to relapse information and multiplied by 365.25.
From first dose of cladribine tablets up to 24 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in 14-Item Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-14) Score at Month 6, 12 and 24
Time Frame: Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24
The TSQM-14 was a participant-rated scale used to assess subjective satisfaction with medication. The TSQM has 14 questions that assesses participants' global satisfaction level with their treatment in 4 domains: side effects (There are 5 questions in the side effects domain, however one of them is a Yes/No question and there are 4 sub-components, hence a maximum score of 20), effectiveness (3 questions), global satisfaction (3 questions), and convenience (3 questions). All questions are scored from 1 (least satisfied) to 5 or 7 (most satisfied). The total score is summed for each domain to obtain: side effects (1-20), effectiveness (1-21), global satisfaction (1-17), and convenience (1-21), using transformed scores between 0 and 100. Lower total scores in each domain indicate dissatisfaction with the study medication and higher total scores indicate satisfaction.

Change From Baseline in 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) Domain Score at Month 6, 12 and 24
Time Frame: Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24
The SF-36 Health Survey is a validated, self-administered questionnaire designed to assess general health status across eight domains: physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, bodily pain, general health perceptions, vitality, social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems, and mental health. It includes one item evaluating perceived change in health over the past year and generates two summary scores-the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS)-derived using factor analytic methods. Each domain and summary score is scaled from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health status.
Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24
Change From Baseline in Modified Fatigue Impact Scale - 5-item Version (MFIS-5) Total Score at Month 6, 12 and 24
Time Frame: Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24
The MFIS-5 is a shortened version of the Fatigue Impact Scale consisting of 5 items that assess the impact of fatigue on physical, cognitive, and psychosocial functioning. Each item is rated on a 5-point Likert scale: 0 (Never), 1 (Rarely), 2 (Sometimes), 3 (Often), and 4 (Almost always). The total score ranges from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating a greater impact of fatigue. Items include: reduced alertness, limitations in activities away from home, difficulty sustaining physical effort, reduced ability to complete tasks requiring physical effort, and trouble concentrating.
Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24
Change From Baseline in 7-Item Beck-Depression Inventory-Fast Screen (BDI-FS) Total Score at Month 6, 12 and 24
Time Frame: Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24
The 7-item Beck Depression Inventory-Fast Screen (BDI-FS) is a self-report tool used to assess the severity of depressive symptoms. It includes seven items: Sadness, Pessimism, Past Failure, Loss of Pleasure, Self-Dislike, Self-Criticalness, and Suicidal Thoughts. Each item is rated on a 4-point scale from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. The total score ranges from 0 to 21 and is calculated by summing the highest-rated response for each item.
Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24
Change From Baseline in Percentage of Work Time Missed Assessed by 6-Item Work Productivity Activity Impairment - Multiple Sclerosis (WPAI-MS) Score at Month 6, 12 and 24
Time Frame: Baseline (Month 0), Month 6, 12 and 24
The WPAI-MS questionnaire is a 6-item validated instrument to measure impairments in work and activities. The WPAI-MS included 6 questions: 1 (if currently employed); 2 (hours missed due to disease); 3 (hours missed other reasons); 4 (hours actually worked); 5 (degree disease affected productivity while working); 6 (degree disease affected regular activities). WPAI-MS generated four component scores: percentage of work time missed (absenteeism); percentage of impairment while working (presentisms); percentage of overall work impairment (absenteeism and presentisms combined); and percentage of activity impairment. Scores for WPAI range from 0% to 100%, where 0 % indicates no impairment and 100% is total loss of work productivity/activity. Change from baseline in percentage of work time missed (absenteeism) was reported.

How many Clad. tab. did you miss/ forget to take? 5.How important were following factors in missing/forgetting to take a dose? (scale from 0-3, where, 0=Not important at all and 3=Extremely important). 6.Overall, how hard/easy do you feel it is to take Clad. tab. as recommended by your physician during your treatment week? (scale from 1- 5, where 1=Extremely easy and 5=Extremely hard). 7.How satisfied are you with how things have been with your Clad. tab. treatment during your treatment week? (scale from 1-5, where 1=Not satisfied at all and 5=Completely satisfied).
Month 1, 2, 13 and 14
Number of Participants Who Experienced Relapse
Time Frame: Over the 12-month and 24-month period

A relapse will be associated with hospitalization if the participants will be hospitalized for the relapse. As a guide, relapse was considered an exacerbation of symptoms that occurred over a minimum of 24 hours and was separated from a previous attack by at least 30 days, in the absence of fever or infection. The percentage of participants who experienced a relapse associated with hospitalization was reported.

A serious adverse event (SAE) is an adverse event (AE) that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or is otherwise considered medically important. An ADR is a response to a medicinal product which is noxious and unintended. An AESI is an AE of scientific and medical concern specific to the Sponsor's product or program, for which ongoing monitoring and rapid communication by the investigator to the Sponsor can be appropriate. Special Situations included AEs related to pregnancy, overdose, off-label use, misuse, medication error, occupational exposure, or lack of therapeutic effectiveness.
