Overview

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common acquired neurological disease leading to disability in young adults. MS often leads to the development of a physical and/or cognitive impairment that disables patients in their daily lives. Early use of disease modifying treatments for patients at risk of developing disability is therefore essential. However, disability progression is very heterogeneous between patients and currently impossible to predict at the individual level. Thus, numerous studies, particularly epidemiological and imaging studies, have identified prognostic factors for the development of disability such as age, gender, number of relapses during the first years of the disease, existence of a residual disability after a first relapse, number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions on initial MRI, early brainstem and spinal cord lesions. However, these different factors only explain incompletely the progression of the physical or cognitive disability in MS patients. In particular, some components of MS pathophysiology, more related to the progressive development of disability, such as axonal degeneration or the existence of chronic inflammation of the central nervous system (CNS) are usually not measured by these biomarkers. In this research project, the investigators will test promising biomarkers, focused on these components of the disease, on a large cohort of patients in a multicenter setting, in order to evaluate their added value to predict disability progression, in comparison with more classical biomarkers such as clinical characteristics, and brain and spinal cord lesion load. In particular, the investigators will test: * Imaging biomarkers extracted from brain and spinal cord MP2RAGE, brain and spinal cord QSM, brain and spinal cord relaxometry, brain diffusion and spinal cord magnetization transfer sequences * Biomarkers extracted from optical coherence tomography (OCT) * Biological biomarkers (serum neurofilament-light chain (NFL) and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP))

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Global disability progression

Global disability progression will be scored by the Expanded disability score system (EDSS). Disability progression will be defined as an increase in the EDSS of at least 1 point if the baseline EDSS was 5.5 or less, or 0.5 point if the Baseline EDSS was

Time frame: 2 years

Secondary Outcomes

Composite disability progression score

A composite disability progression score will be defined as an increase in the EDSS score, or an increase in the time to perform the timed 25-foot walk ≥ 20%, or an increase in the time to complete the 9-hole peg test ≥ 20% at 2 years compared to baseline

Time frame: 2 years

Change in the Symbol Digit Modalities Test score

Change in the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) score from baseline to 2-year

Time frame: 2 years

Change in the American Spinal Cord Injury Association motor sub-score

Change in the American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) motor sub-score from baseline to 2-year

Time frame: 2 years

Focal inflammatory activity

Focal inflammatory activity at 2 years will be defined by the occurrence of a clinical relapse and/or MRI activity (new T2 lesion)

Time frame: 2 years

No evidence of disease activity 3

No evidence of disease activity (NEDA) 3 at 2 years will be defined as no evidence of disability progression scored by the EDSS, relapse, MRI activity

Time frame: 2 years

Between-subject, between-center and between-session coefficient of variation of measurements extracted quantitative MRI

Between-subject, between-center and between-session coefficient of variation (in percentage) of measurements extracted from baseline brain and spinal cord quantitative MRI (T1, Myelin water fraction, magnetization transfer ratio, parameters extracted from diffusion imaging)

Time frame: At inclusion

Number of brain and spinal cord lesion detected using 3D MP2RAGE sequence and the classical OFSEP sequences at baseline and 2 year

Time frame: At inclusion and 2 years

Number of new brain and spinal cord lesion detected at 2 years using 3DMP2RAGE sequence and the classical OFSEP sequences

Time frame: 2 years

Number of detected brain and spinal cord lesions per patient and per expert with and without the automatic tool at baseline and 2 year

Time frame: At baseline and 2 year
