MS-DETECT: Early Detection of Multiple Sclerosis Progression With MSCopilot®
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study aims to evaluate MSCopilot®, a smartphone application for at-home monitoring of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
The primary objective is to enhance and standardize remote monitoring of MS patients to accurately assess disease progression caused by either Relapse Activity Worsening (RAW) or Progression Independent of Relapses (PIRA). The study also aims to assess the safety, usability, and satisfaction of the solution.
A secondary objective is to determine MSCopilot®'s ability to provide early detection of disease changes and predict changes in Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores in more patients.
Exploratory objectives include evaluating the relationship between MSCopilot® composite and individual scores and other biomarkers such as MRI, soluble glial fibrillary acidic protein (sGFAP), and soluble neurofilament light chain (sNfL).
Patients will be able to download the free MSCopilot® app. They will participate in 1 inclusion visit and 3 follow-up visits, scheduled at 6 months, 12 months, and 18 months (an additional visit at 24 months may be scheduled if necessary). Every 3 months, patients will complete validated questionnaires regarding MS symptoms and quality of life and participate in digital tests designed to monitor MS symptom progression.
The study will include 243 MS patients and will be conducted in the United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark and France

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To evaluate MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores and/or composite scores sensitivity to detect disability progression based on revised-MSFC scores. [Throughout the study at each hospital visit: Day 0, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18 and Month 24 (if applicable)]
The discriminatory ability of the MSCopilot® DETECT application in detecting clinically meaningful worsening (disability progression) based on the revised-MSFC will be evaluated using the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) method. Confidence intervals will also be estimated. The minimum significant AUC value will be set at >0.72, and Confidence Intervals will be calculated. Sensitivity and specificity will also be determined. To validate the estimated AUC values and cutoffs generated by the MSCopilot® DETECT application, a train/test set will be utilised.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To evaluate MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores and/or composite scores sensitivity to detect disability progression based on EDSS. [Throughout the study at each hospital visit: Day 0, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18 and Month 24 (if applicable)]
The study will evaluate the sensitivity, specificity, concordance, and accuracy of the MSCopilot® DETECT application in redicting confirmed disability progression (CDP) at 24 weeks as measured by the EDSS, using a contingency table. We will also generate time series box plots of MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores and/or composite scores based on the patient progression status (determined by EDSS) both intra-patient and inter-patient.
- To evaluate MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores and/or composite scores sensitivity to detect disability progression earlier than the EDSS. [Throughout the study at each hospital visit: Day 0, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18 and Month 24 (if applicable)]
The time to progression-free events based on EDSS and MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores and/or composite scores will be estimated with a Kaplan-Meier method (Log-rank test for comparison). Univariate and multivariate survival models (e.g. Cox or Anderson-Gill survival model), will be used to estimate Hazards Rates (HRs), if relevant. Proportions of disability progression based on MSCopilot® DETECT composite or individual scores and progression based on the EDSS 24-week CDP will be compared for each timepoint. Time series boxplot of MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores and/or composite score according to the patient disability progression (by EDSS) intra-patient and inter-patient.
- To evaluate MSCopilot® DETECT individual and/or composite scores ability to detect disease progression in absence of a relapsing activity (PIRA). [Throughout the study at each hospital visit: Day 0, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18 and Month 24 (if applicable)]
Proportion of patients with PIRA (progression independent of relapses) based either on EDSS 24-week CDP compared to the proportion of patients with PIRA based on MSCopilot® DETECT composite or individual scores progression status.
- To evaluate MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores and/or composite scores ability to detect MSFC changes over time. [Throughout the study at each hospital visit: Day 0, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18 and Month 24 (if applicable)]
Slopes parameters will be computed using a mix model to characterize the change from baseline in MSCopilot® DETECT individual and/or composite scores and revised-MSFC scores over time The association between these slopes parameters will be assessed using correlation coefficient.
- To measure MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores and/or composite scores association with the clinical scores. [Throughout the study at each hospital visit: Day 0, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18 and Month 24 (if applicable)]
The association between digital and clinical scores will be studied with correlation coefficient calculated between: MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores ((MWPT, MDT, MCT, MVT and Mobile Walking Endurance Test (MWET)) and/or composite score at home and EDSS score performed in clinic. MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores (MWPT, MDT, MCT, MVT and MWET) and/or composite score at home and revised-MSFC-3 or Revised-MSFC3 + SLCLAT scores performed in clinic.
- To assess reproducibility of MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores and/or composite scores between in-clinic and at-home digital tests. [Day 1, Month 6+1 day, Month 12 + 1 day, Month 18-1 day and Month 24-1 day (if applicable)) and in-clinic ((Day 0, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18 and Month 24 (if applicable))]
Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) between MSCopilot® individual scores and/or composite score at home and in-clinic.
- To assess reliability of MSCopilot® DETECT individual scores and/or composite scores at-home over time. [Day 0 versus Month 6, Month 6 versus Month 12, Month 12 versus Month 18, Month18 versus Month 24 (if applicable) AND Day 0 to Month 18 or Day 0 to Month 24 (if applicable) and Day 0 to Month 15 or Day 0 to Month 21 (if applicable)]
