Trial of Fingolimod Versus Interferon Beta-1a in Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis
NEJM 379:1017-1027, Chitnis, T.,et al, 2018
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Among pediatric patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis, fingolimod was associated with a lower rate of relapse and less accumulation of lesions on MRI over a 2-year period than interferon beta-1a but was associated with a higher rate of serious adverse events. Longer studies are required to determine the durability and safety of fingolimod in pediatric multiple sclerosis.
