The patient's reporting of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) is recognized as being of interest for post-marketing safety monitoring, but is still underdeveloped in France, with an average lower than the European average. A multidisciplinary team of the University Hospital of Caen, composed of neurologists and pharmacovigilants, has been carrying out since autumn 2017 a national study (VIGIP-SEP1) with 24 research centers in France (12 universitary hospitals, 6 general hospitals, and 6 private-practice neurologists) whose main objective was to evaluate the impact of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients' use of a mobile application (App) to report their ADRs. ADR reports are sent by patients directly via the App to the Regional Pharmacovigilance Centers, after analyze, clinical pharmacologist send it to the National Competent Authority. As part of VIGIP-SEP1, the accompaniment for the use of the App was carried out very simply by neurologists. We designed a randomized controlled trial based on the assumption that a nurse training of the patient, after the initial prescription of an oral MS drug, with a follow-up within 6 months, will increase by 3 times the number of patients who report ADRs compared to a simple information presented by the neurologist. The number of subjects required is 23 subjects per group.
