What this trial is about
The investigators hypothesize that serum neurofilament-light chain (NfL) levels can provide information about the level of activity and progression of Multiple Sclerosis at different stages and landmarks of the disease. In addition, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) has also been identified as another serum biomarker of disability in MS.
