Patients who plan to receive or are receiving intravenous methylprednisolone therapy; 4. Expanded disability status scale (EDSS) score ≤ 8 and ≥ 2.5 during the screening period; 5. Able and willing to give written informed consent; 6. Women of childbearing potential who agree to use adequate contraception during the study.

Combined with severe mental disorders and other conditions and unable to cooperate with follow-up; 4. History of malignancies; 5. Received plasma exchange, immunoadsorption or intravenous immunoglobulin therapy within 1 month before screening; 6. Patients with negative hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAg) and positive hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), or HBsAg-positive virus carriers, or patients with active tuberculosis or positive tuberculosis screening without appropriate treatment history; 7.
