Study of myMS in Participants With a Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a pilot study looking at the feasibility of a mobile application (app) to collect data from active tasks (questionnaires, 6Mapp™, COGapp™, VISapp™), clinical magnetic resonance imaging information and conduct genome-wide association studies in subjects with multiple sclerosis. Participants will be self-referred to this study from different sources; patient advocacy groups, social media tools, clinicaltrials.gov, and flyers.

Detailed Description
This is a pilot study evaluating the feasibility of a mobile application "myMS™" to collect active clinical tasks (questionnaires, 6Mapp™, COGapp™, VISapp™), magnetic resonance imaging information and conduct genome-wide association studies in subjects with multiple sclerosis. Participants will be self-referred to this study from different sources; patient advocacy groups, social media tools, clinicaltrials.gov, and flyers.
Specific aims of this pilot study are:
-
To determine the feasibility and work flow in prospectively collecting surveys, clinical tasks, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) information for up to 200 self-referred adult MS participants, using mobile app myMS™.
-
To determine the feasibility of using interface between myMS™ and 23andMe® DNA Kits and 23andme password protected mobile app platform (GSR Dashboard) in collecting one biological (saliva) sample and distributing the genetic result (using commercially available results only, distributed by 23andme®), for up to 200 self-referred adult MS participants. This aim is for testing the system interface only. 23andme® has their own independent consent form and IRB coverage for their commercial product.
-
To estimate the percentage of registered participants that will meet eligibility criteria for MS.
-
To estimate the percentage of participants that a) complete all clinical tasks; b) complete all surveys; c) provide genetic information; and d) provide MRI scans.
