  Purpose

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.

Further study details as provided by Charite University, Berlin, Germany:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Efficacy parameters [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Decrease of latency of mVEP of the affected eye after 6 months treatment with Gilenya® vs. Extavia® compared to baseline


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Efficacy parameters [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Decrease in the latency of the mVEP from the affected eye at the time points 1, 3 and 12 months in comparison to baseline. Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and macular volume in OCT, visual contrast sensitivity, visual field, Color vision, visual quality of life, in CMRT lesion load in cMRT , neurotrophic factors and axonal damage markers (neurofilament) and neurotrophins (for example, BDNF) in the serum

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:
