| Description |
In the phase 3 trial of natalizumab for relapsing MS (AFFIRM), low-contrast letter acuity (LCA) showed decreased probability of sustained visual loss in patients receiving active treatment. Freedom from clinical and radiological disease activity was also seen in 37% of treated patients over 2 years in AFFIRM. Given the importance of vision to overall functioning and quality of life in MS, we determined how freedom from disease activity might be associated with visual loss. |
