This observational study follows patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis RMS who are being treated with approved injectable or selected oral disease-modifying therapies DMTs in Germany. The study is non-interventional and open-label, designed to collect real-world data on treatment and disease progression over several years. It aims to understand how patients continue their baseline treatments and how these treatments impact various health and quality of life measures. Participants receive routine medical care with approved injectable or oral DMTs such as ofatumumab, interferon b21, glatiramer acetate, teriflunomide, dimethyl fumarate, or diroximel fumarate. The study includes two cohorts with up to approximately two years of prospective observation each, with an optional extension allowing up to four years total. Treatment decisions and monitoring follow the patients usual care and physicians discretion, including routine visits and telemedicine options. During the study, participants provide medical history, complete questionnaires, and have data collected on disability status, MRI findings, relapses, and laboratory tests. Researchers assess treatment continuation rates, fatigue, anxiety, depression, quality of life, lesion counts, and relapse rates at multiple time points. Safety and treatment interruptions are also documented. Follow-up is flexible and based on standard care procedures, with data collection occurring throughout the observational periods.

This research aims to evaluate participant satisfaction with subcutaneous ocrelizumab treatment in people with Multiple Sclerosis MS over a 12-month period. It will also investigate changes in neurofilament light chain NfL protein levels, a marker related to MS disease activity, and explore correlations between NfL levels and various clinical and imaging factors. The study is observational and follows participants who are starting ocrelizumab SC as part of their routine MS care. Participants will receive ocrelizumab as a subcutaneous injection according to their physicians discretion and local clinical practice. The study observes participants for up to 12 months to assess treatment satisfaction using the Therapy Administration Satisfaction Questionnaire for Subcutaneous administration TASQ-SC and other satisfaction questionnaires. Blood samples will be collected at baseline, month 6, and month 12 to measure NfL protein levels and other biomarkers. The study also monitors MS relapses, disability scores, and adverse events during this period. Throughout the 12 months, participants will undergo assessments of treatment satisfaction at multiple time points, including after the first injection, 6 months, and 12 months. Clinical evaluations, questionnaires, and blood tests will be conducted to track disease activity and participant experience. Researchers will measure satisfaction levels, changes in NfL concentrations, relapse rates, disability progression, and safety events. The study is designed to provide real-world data on patient experience and biomarker changes with subcutaneous ocrelizumab treatment in MS.

Immune thrombocytopenia ITP is a rare blood disorder caused by an autoimmune condition that reduces platelet counts, increasing the risk of bleeding or prolonged bleeding. New treatments for ITP have emerged recently, but existing clinical studies are limited in their applicability to everyday patient care due to strict criteria. This registry aims to collect real-world clinical data and biospecimens from patients with various types of ITP to improve understanding of diagnosis, therapy, and patient outcomes in routine treatment. The registry includes patients diagnosed with primary or secondary ITP who consent to participate. Data collection occurs at defined points in the disease course either prospectively or retrospectively up to 12 months after diagnosis, provided continuous documentation is available. Biospecimens are collected and stored systematically to support research. Clinical information collected includes disease characteristics, treatment types, complications, quality of life, fatigue scores, and survival data over a follow-up period of up to 5 years. Participants provide clinical data and biosamples at enrollment, then again at 6 months and annually for up to 5 years. Assessments include platelet counts, bleeding and thromboembolic events, laboratory markers such as specific antibodies, and patient-reported outcomes like quality of life and fatigue. The study gathers epidemiological data on incidence, age, sex distribution, causes of ITP, treatment received, and remission status. The registry helps advance knowledge about ITP through long-term monitoring and standardized data collection.

Researchers are observing adults with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia CLL who are receiving the drug venetoclax, either alone or combined with other medications such as rituximab, obinutuzumab, ibrutinib, or acalabrutinib. The study aims to understand how these treatments work in real-life settings, focusing on the effectiveness, costs related to health economics, and outcomes reported by the patients themselves. Participants receive venetoclax as prescribed by their doctors following local medical guidelines. They may receive it alone or alongside one of the other drugs mentioned. This study does not assign treatments but observes patients as they undergo therapy according to routine clinical practice across several countries. During the study, participants are monitored for their response to treatment, with the main focus on the best overall response rate within 12 months. Researchers collect data on health outcomes, costs, and patient experiences to better understand the impact of these therapies. The study spans several years, allowing long-term observation of treatment effects and outcomes.
