Abstract
Background: The Multiple Sclerosis Outcome Assessments Consortium (MSOAC) was formed by
the National MS Society to develop improved measures of multiple sclerosis
(MS)-related disability. Objectives: (1) To assess the current literature and available data on functional
performance outcome measures (PerfOs) and (2) to determine suitability of
using PerfOs to quantify MS disability in MS clinical trials. Methods: (1) Identify disability dimensions common in MS; (2) conduct a comprehensive
literature review of measures for those dimensions; (3) develop an MS
Clinical Data Interchange Standards Consortium (CDISC) data standard; (4)
create a database of standardized, pooled clinical trial data; (5) analyze
the pooled data to assess psychometric properties of candidate measures; and
(6) work with regulatory agencies to use the measures as primary or
secondary outcomes in MS clinical trials. Conclusion: Considerable data exist supporting measures of the functional domains
ambulation, manual dexterity, vision, and cognition. A CDISC standard for MS
(http://www.cdisc.org/therapeutic#MS) was published, allowing
pooling of clinical trial data. MSOAC member organizations contributed
clinical data from 16 trials, including 14,370 subjects. Data from
placebo-arm subjects are available to qualified researchers. This
integrated, standardized dataset is being analyzed to support qualification
of disability endpoints by regulatory agencies.
