1 2013 MS Phenotype Descriptions: Relapsing MS 1 Disease-Modifying Therapies? which can be found in its entirety at. Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) Not Active a Active a,b Relapsing-remitting disease (RRMS) Not Active a Active a a Activity determined by clinical relapse and/or MRI activity (GELs; new/unequivocally enlarging T2 lesions assessed at least annually; if assessments not available, activity indeterminate ). b CIS, if subsequently active fulfilling current MS diagnostic criteria, becomes RRMS. GEL: gadolinium-enhancing lesion; MS: multiple sclerosis. 1. Lublin FD et al. Neurology. 2014;83: ]

2 Worsening or Highly Active MS: Key Definitions 1,2 Disease-Modifying Therapies? which can be found in its entirety at. Active Disease Relapse, acute or subacute episodes of new or increasing neurologic dysfunction followed by full or partial recovery, in absence of fever or infection and/or Occurrence of GEL or new/unequivocally enlarging T2 lesions Worsening Disease Documented increase in neurologic dysfunction/disability as a result of relapses or progressive disease Confirmed Progression/Worsening Increase of neurologic dysfunction confirmed throughout a defined time interval (ie, over 6 mo or 12 mo) RES: Rapidly Evolving Severe Multiple Sclerosis 2 disabling relapses in previous year and 1 GEL or significant in T2-lesion load HAD: High Disease Activity Despite Interferon β 1 relapse in the previous year on interferon β and 1 GEL or 9 T2 lesions on cranial MRI Progressive Disease Steadily increasing, objectively documented, neurologic dysfunction/disability w/out unequivocal recovery (fluctuations and phases of stability may occur) GEL: gadolinium-enhancing lesion. 1.

If assessments are not available, activity and progression indeterminate. c Stable disease. GEL: gadolinium-enhancing lesion. 1. Lublin FD et al. Neurology. 2014;83:

4 Identifying Highly Active MS: Common Features 1 Disease-Modifying Therapies? which can be found in its entirety at. Clinical Radiologic Frequent relapses Severe relapses Incomplete recovery from relapses Frequent clinical disease activity (relapses) despite MS therapy Early accrual of physical or cognitive impairment Heavy T2 lesion burden Presence of multiple GELs at onset High GEL burden Early brain atrophy Continued GELs despite MS therapy Increasing T2 lesion burden despite MS therapy GEL: gadolinium-enhancing lesion Accessed February 1, 2016.
