..following 105 RRMS patients...
finding the oral drug’s efficacy in a real-world setting was comparable to results observed in Phase 3 clinical studies....
The efficacy and safety results of this study were found to be comparable to those observed in Phase 3 clinical trials...
So, it basically performs the same as what the much larger Phase 3 clinical trial found, ie no news. I think the manufacturers "spin doctors" had a hand in this to keep Gylenya in the "news" and on the prescription pad.

Sure, its great that it is being monitored, but hardly news.
