Comparative effectiveness of delayed-release dimethyl fumarate versus interferon, glatiramer acetate, teriflunomide, or fingolimod: results from the German NeuroTransData registry

Background Comparative effectiveness (CE) research allows real-world treatment comparisons using outcome measurements important to physicians/patients. This German NeuroTransData registry-based analysis compared delayed-release dimethyl fumarate (DMF) effectiveness with interferons (IFN), glatiramer acetate (GA), teriflunomide (TERI), or fingolimod (FTY) in patients with relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) using propensity score matching (PSM).
