  3. Background of The North American Registry for Care and Research in MS (NARCRMS) • NARCRMS is the first database to link MS Centers in the US and Canada. • NARCRMS enrolled its first patient in May 2016. • Along with clinical and imaging data, NARCRMS prospectively collects information about the health care economics of patients with MS and its effects on daily life. • Examination of the economic impact of MS provides useful information for patients, providers, payers and society-at-large as well as for the allocation of available resources towards the care of patients with this chronicand debilitating disorder.

  4. Design/Methods: • NARCRMS established the HEOR Advisory Group in 2017 to assist our industry partners in implementing HEOR in decision-making processes. • NARCRMS developed a Health-Related Productivity Questionnaire and Health Resource Utilization Questionnaire. • The questionnaires were incorporated into the existing Case Report Forms (CRFs) and are completed at enrollment, annual and exacerbation visits for each patient. May 23, 2019 Design/Methods: Health Related Productivity Questionnaire: • Current employment status (including FT or PT) • If the patient is unemployed or under-employed (e.g. working part time when they want to work full time) due to MS • # and type of insurance changes in the past 3 years May 23, 2019

  5. Design/Methods: Health Related Productivity Questionnaire (Continued): • During the week prior to reporting: • Whether the patient was scheduled to work and # hours scheduled • Whether MS or its treatment kept the patient from working and # of hours missed • For hours worked, did MS or its treatment impact work output, percentage impacted and symptoms • Whether the patient planned to complete household chores and # of hours planned • Whether MS or its treatment kept the patient from completing household chores and # of hours missed • For household chores completed, did MS or its treatment impact household chore output, percentage impacted and symptoms May 23, 2019 Design/Methods: Health Resource Utilization Questionnaire: • Living situation • Currently receiving disability income due to MS May 23, 2019

  6. Design/Methods: Health Resource Utilization Questionnaire (Continued): • During the 3 months prior to reporting patients are asked to report on the following: • Overnight hospital stay(s) • Emergency room trip(s) • Admission to nursing home(s) • Healthcare providers from which the patient has received services & number of times • Use of aids (e.g. bed lift, modification to home, walking aids, etc.) • Paid homecare • Unpaid homecare May 23, 2019 Results: Enrollment and Demographic Data* 480 462 21 HEOR CRFs Patients Enrolling Sites Completed Enrolled Gender Age at Diagnosis 160 140 134 105 140 Male (22.73%) 120 93 100 80 328 41 60 Female 28 (71%) 24 40 2 20 2 0 TransgenderMale (0.43%) 27 No Information (NI) (5.84%) Median Age at Diagnosis: 32 May 23, 2019 * As of May 20, 2019

The economic impact of identifying an effective treatment for this symptom of MS cannot be overstated. May 23, 2019
