Assessment of NfL and GFAP Levels, Atrophy of the Macula GCC by OCT and Whole Brain Atrophy by MRI to Predict Evolution of Neurological Disability in MS Patients

NCT04860947

UnknownN/A

Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes

Conditions: Multiple Sclerosis

Interventions: Brain MRI, Spinal Cord MRI, Retinal imaging

Countries: France

The investigators hypothesize that serum neurofilament-light chain (NfL) levels at baseline and decrease of the macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness at one year vs. baseline are as good as progression of whole brain atrophy at one year vs. baseline to predict later evolution of neurological disability in multiple sclerosis patients.
