Summary

This study evaluates a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), named PRIMUS, designed to support therapeutic decision-making in MS. The CDSS is based on a validated reference database integrating retrospective data from randomized controlled trials and the French national MS cohort (Observatoire Français de la Sclérose en Plaques, OFSEP). This reference database consists of synthetic data derived from these sources.

PRIMUS enables visualization of disease activity at 1 and 2 years under different therapeutic scenarios, based on clinical and MRI characteristics of patients similar to the patient of interest. The CDSS PRIMUS aims to support informed and individualized treatment decisions. Because MRI is a critical marker of disease activity previously acquired MRI scans will be reanalyzed using automated segmentation and validated by a radiologist to standardize lesion assessment across centers. The results will be displayed to the neurologist and, if appropriate shown to the patient using a dedicated viewer, and can be discussed during the consultation.

A cluster-randomized controlled trial, with hospitals as the unit, will be conducted to evaluate the impact of the CDSS on treatment decision-making in patients with relapsing-remitting MS. The primary objective is to assess whether the use of the CDSS influences therapeutic choices during clinical consultations.

The study hypothesis is that use of the CDSS will increase the proportion of high-efficacy treatments initiated or selected, compared with usual care without CDSS support.

In parallel, an optional sub-study using a mixed-methods approach will explore clinicians' and patients' perceptions of, and interactions with, the CDSS.

  • Relapsing - Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Interventions

DEVICE

Clinical decision support system

The Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) PRIMUS is a software (as medical device) designed to support therapeutic decisions in multiple sclerosis (MS) and assist clinicians during consultations in which initiation or modification of MS treatment is considered. The system uses retrospective clinical and MRI data from a reference database to generate visualizations of disease evolution over a 2-year period under different therapeutic scenarios, based on patient-specific characteristics entered by the clinician. PRIMUS does not make treatment recommendations and does not replace clinical judgment. All treatment decisions remain at the discretion of the clinician
