Mavenclad Effect on Quality of Life

Treatment with Mavenclad (cladribine) over two years significantly improved physical and mental health aspects of quality of life in people with highly active relapsing multiple sclerosis, according to a final analysis of data from a Phase 4 study.

Mavenclad is an oral medication approved for people with relapsing forms of MS. In clinical trials, the therapy has been shown to reduce relapses, slow disability progression, and reduce the number of brain lesions.

After its approval, a phase 4 study with 482 MS patients showed improvements in quality of life, especially limitations owing to physical problems, health distress, and emotional problems.
