Summary

Fampyra, a voltage-dependent potassium channel blocker, is indicated for the improvement of walking in adult patients with multiple sclerosis with walking disability (EDSS 4-7). The medicinal product has been authorized under a so-called "conditional approval" scheme. This means that further evidence on this medicinal product is awaited and this study aims to assess the effect of Fampyra, administered according to standard clinical practice, on cognition, fatigue and quality of life in patients with MS.

This clinical study is a multicenter, prospective, non-interventional, cohort study of MS patients receiving Fampyra in outpatient setting. Patients will be treated according to the local prescribing information of the study medication and routine medical practice in terms of visit frequency and types of assessments performed. The assignment of the patient to this therapeutic strategy is not decided in advance by the study protocol but falls within current practice and the prescription of Fampyra is clearly separated from the physician's decision to include the patient in the current study.

Since this is purely non-interventional study, primary data -which will be obtained prospectively during the study visits through patients' interview and patient reported outcomes or as performed per standard clinical practice- will mainly be employed.
