Relationship Between Oral DMT Burden and Adherence in MS

Abstract

STATURE is a prospective observational six-arm translation multi-site study that will run for approx. 4.5 years. The primary aim is to measure treatment burden and its relationship to medication adherence across six self-administered oral disease-modifying therapies (cladribine, dimethyl fumarate, fingolimod, teriflunomide, ozanimod, and diroximel fumarate) in multiple sclerosis (MS). The information gained will assist prescribing decision-making; accounting for medication burden at a patient level and potential implications on medication adherence and persistence, thus minimising primary and secondary healthcare costs. Three-hundred and twenty-three individuals with MS will be recruited into the study. Patient-reported outcome measures will be administered via Qualtrics, a secure online data collection tool. Medicare and pharmaceutical benefits scheme (PBS) data will also be collected.
