This is an observational study where individuals are observed and data is collected through normal procedures the doctor would perform for multiple sclerosis. Individuals will not receive medication through the study but will continue with the treatment that the doctor has prescribed for them. Participation is simple since the doctor can collect all study information at the standard office visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This study is for patients who will be starting a specific study medication at the start of the study or are starting another DMT or started within 6 months of study entry. Patients previously or currently treated with cytotoxic agents or natalizumab cannot participate in this study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the 5 year study participation period, the participation in PASSAGE will provide an opportunity to learn more about the safety and satisfaction of MS treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Study Enrollment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you, your family member or loved one is interested in learning more about participating in this study, please contact the Study Coordinator at <a href=\"tel:+15203202157\">(520) 320-2157<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Site Director, Clinical Research Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/neurotucson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/pazzi-m-med.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-697\" width=\"216\" height=\"242\"\/><figcaption><em><a href=\"https:\/\/neurotucson.com\" data-type=\"bio\" data-id=\"695\">Marjorie Pazzi, RN, CCRP<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our research site director is a Registered Nurse and a Certified Clinical Research Professional with many years of experience managing and coordinating clinical trials.
