Beschreibung
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients must be diagnosed with relapsing remitting MS (RRMS) as defined by 2005 revised McDonald criteria.
- Patients who explicitly agree to be assigned to a treatment group that may receive fingolimod or DMT after having been informed about their respective benefits and possible adverse events by the investigator.
- An Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score of 0-5.5 inclusive.
- Must have received continuous treatment with a single approved and indicated MS DMT for a minimum of 6 months prior to the screening visit. Patients must continue with this MS DMT until the randomization visit.
- Naïve to treatment with fingolimod.
Exclusion Criteria:
- A manifestation of MS other than those defined in the inclusion criteria.
- A history of chronic disease of the immune system other than MS or a known immunodeficiency syndrome.
- History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases.
- Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c > 7%).
- Diagnosis of macular edema during Screening Phase.
Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Treatment Satisfaction
Zeitfenster: baseline, 6 months
|
The Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) is a psychometric measure of a patient's satisfaction with medication.
It consists of 3 subscales: effectiveness, convenience and global satisfaction.
The scores were computed by adding items for each domain, i.e. 1 to 3 for effectiveness, 4 - 6 for convenience and 7 to 9 for global satisfaction.
The lowest possible score (1 for each item and 3 for all 3 subscales) was subtracted from the composite score and divided by the greatest possible score range.
The greatest range was (7-1) X 3 items = 18 for the effectiveness and convenience, and (5-1) x 3 items = 12 for global satisfaction.
This provided a transformed score between 0 and 1 that was then multiplied by 100.
A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Activities of Daily Living (ADL)
Zeitfenster: baseline, 6 months
|
The PRIMUS activity measure is a 15-item assessment used to evaluate patient-reported activities of daily living.
The PRIMUS activities score was calculated summing the 15 items, after recoding the responses from 1 - 3 to 0 - 2. Therefore, the total score ranged from 0 - 3-, where high scores were indicative of greater function limitation.
A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Fatigue
Zeitfenster: 6 months
|
The fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) is a 9-item scale used to assess fatigue.
The FSS score was calculated summing the 9 items of the questionnaire and dividing by the number of non-missing items (each item is based on a 7-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree)).
A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Depression
Zeitfenster: 6 months
|
The Beck Depression Inventory Fast Screen (BDI-FS) is a brief, multiple choice, self reported inventory designed to evaluate depression in patients with medical illness.
The BDI-FS score was calculated summing the 7 items of the questionnaire.
Each item ranged from 0 (not present) to 3 (severe).
The total score ranges from 0-3 (minimal depression), 4-8 (mild depression), 9-12 (moderate depression) and 13-21 (severe depression).
A negative change from baseline indicates improvement.

Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Health Related Quality of Life (QOL)
Zeitfenster: 6 months
|
The SF-36v2 is a validated health-related quality of life instrument used in numerous disease states, including MS.
It is a self-administered survey that measures 8 domains of health including: physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, pain, general health, energy/fatigue, social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems and emotional well-being.
Additionally, two summary scale scores can be calculated: the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS).
If half or more questions within a domain were answered, then a score was calculated for that domain.
Otherwise, the patient score for that domain was set to missing.
If the patient was missing any 1 of the 8 scale scores, then the physical and mental component scores were set to missing.
An algorithm was used to create a score from 0 to 100 for each domain score and component score.
A positive change from baseline indicates improvement.

Physician-reported Clinical Global Impression of Improvement (CGI-I)
Zeitfenster: 6 months
|
The CGI-I is a rating scale allowing a physician-reported global evaluation of the subject's improvement over time.
The Investigator assessed the subject's clinical change relative to the symptoms at baseline on the CGI-I, a seven-point scale, with rating as follows: 1=Very much improved, 2=Much improved, 3=Minimally improved, 4=No change, 5=Minimally worse, 6=Much worse, 7=Very much worse.
A lower score and a negative change from baseline indicate improvement.
