Abstract

Results of annual comparative clinical research of the Russian biosimilar of beta-IFN - 1в at 122 patients with multiple sclerosis are presented. There were positive dynamics on EDSS scores in both groups (in the main group and group of control) in a year of treatment. There were positive dynamics in frequency of relapses in the main group (with 1.5 to 0.4 in a year) and in group of control (with 1.4 to 0.37 in a year). Positive dynamics according to MRI was also fixed in both groups. In both groups, good tolerability of the treatment was noted. This research didn't reveal essential distinctions on efficiency and safety parameters in both groups.
