Active clinical trials for "Multiple Sclerosis"

Open-label, long-term extension study available to participants who have completed CNMAu8.201.

This is a randomized, double blind, controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of a higher dose of ocrelizumab per intravenous (IV) infusion every 24 weeks in participants with RMS, in comparison to the approved 600 mg dose of ocrelizumab.

This is a randomized, double blind, controlled, parallel group, multicenter study to evaluate efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of a higher dose of ocrelizumab per intravenous (IV) infusion every 24 weeks in participants with PPMS, in comparison to the approved 600 mg dose of ocrelizumab.

Primary Objective: To determine the efficacy of SAR441344 as measured by reduction of the number of new active brain lesions Secondary Objective: To evaluate efficacy of SAR441344 on disease activity as assessed by other MRI measures To evaluate the safety and tolerability of SAR441344 To evaluate pharmacokinetics of SAR441344

This is a Phase IIIb, single-arm, multicenter, OLE study. Participants receiving ocrelizumab as an investigational medicinal product (IMP) in a Roche sponsored Parent study who continue to receive ocrelizumab or are in safety follow-up at the time of the closure of their respective Parent study (WA21092, WA21093 or WA25046) are eligible for enrollment in this extension study. Participants who will continue ocrelizumab treatment will receive IMP based on the dosage and administration received at the time of rollover from the Parent study.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a progressive neurological disorder of the brain and spinal cord. It affects approximately 120,000 people in the United Kingdom and 2.5 million people globally. Most people with MS experience two stages of the disease: Early MS - Relapsing-Remitting MS (RRMS), which is partially reversible, and Late MS - Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS), which affects the majority of patients, usually after 10 to 15 years after diagnosis. SPMS results from progressive neuronal degeneration that causes accumulating and irreversible disability affecting walking, balance, manual function, vision, cognition, pain control, bladder and bowel function. The pathological process driving the accrual of disability in SPMS is not known at present. Immunomodulatory anti-inflammatory disease modifying therapies (DMTs) are increasingly effective in reducing relapse frequency in RRMS, however, they have been unsuccessful in slowing disease progression in SPMS. This is the overwhelming conclusion from an analysis of 18 phase 3 trials (n=8500), of which 70% of the population had SPMS, all performed in the last 25 years. There is no current disease modifying treatment (DMT) for SPMS. In an earlier study (Multiple Sclerosis-Simvastatin 1; MS-STAT1), 140 people with SPMS were randomly assigned to receive either placebo or simvastatin for a period of two years. The investigators found that the rate of brain atrophy (loss of neurons - 'brain shrinkage'), as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), was reduced in patients receiving simvastatin compared to those taking placebo. Several other long term studies have also reported that there might be a relationship between the rate of brain atrophy and the degree of impairment. The study is designed to test the effectiveness of repurposed simvastatin (80mg) in a phase 3 double blind, randomised, placebo controlled trial (1:1) in patients with secondary progressive MS (SPMS), to determine if the rate of disability progression can be slowed over a 3 year period. The results generated from this trial may help to improve the treatment options of people with MS. In addition, taking part in this trial will mean regular review by an experienced neurologist regardless of the drug that patients are randomly allocated to receive.

The main objectives of Part 1 are as follows: To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of BG00012 in pediatric subjects with RRMS, as compared with a disease-modifying treatment and to assess health outcomes and evolution of disability. The primary objective of Part 2 is to evaluate the long-term safety of BG00012 in subjects who completed Week 96 in Part 1 of Study 109MS306. The secondary objective of Part 2 is to describe the long-term MS outcomes of BG00012 in subjects who completed Week 96 in Part 1 of Study 109MS306.

Primary Objective: To assess the effect of teriflunomide in comparison to placebo on disease activity measured by time to first clinical relapse after randomization in children and adolescents 10 to 17 years of age with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). Secondary Objective: To assess the effect of teriflunomide in comparison to placebo on disease activity/progression measured by brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and on cognitive function. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of teriflunomide in comparison to placebo. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of teriflunomide.

In this Phase 1b open-label prospective clinical trial, patients with relapsing-remitting MS will undergo FMT of FMP30 (donor stool) via colonoscopy and immunological efficacy endpoints will be assessed at various time points. The active phase of the study will continue for 12 weeks post-FMT with safety and biomarker (engraftment) follow-up for 48 weeks. A parallel observational control arm of MS patients who otherwise satisfy study inclusion criteria based on their MS phenotype, demographics, disease duration and prior use of allowable MS therapies, will be recruited as a comparison observational group to measure stability of stool and serum immunological measures. The study duration for the Observational Control Arm is 12 weeks.

Primary Objective: To determine the long-term safety and tolerability of SAR442168 in RMS participants Secondary Objective: To evaluate efficacy of SAR442168 on disease activity, assessed by clinical and imaging methods
