Active clinical trials for "Multiple Sclerosis, Relapsing-Remitting"

This is an open-label, multi-center, 12-week, randomized, controlled, parallel group, Phase 4 study to assess whether the morning administration of interferon beta 1a (Rebif®) leads to a lower severity of flu-like symptoms (FLS) as compared to the evening administration, in subjects with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS).

This is a multicenter study conducted in 2 parts: The primary objective in Part I of this study is to determine the efficacy of BG00012 (dimethyl fumarate, DMF) on inflammatory brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesion activity (Gadolinium-enhancing lesions) when compared with placebo from 4 scans performed at Weeks 12, 16, 20, and 24 in participants with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) including participants from the Asia-Pacific region. The secondary objectives in Part I of this study in this study population are to determine whether BG00012, when compared with placebo over 24 weeks, is effective in reducing the cumulative number of new Gadolinium-enhancing lesions from Baseline to Week 24; reducing the number of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions on brain MRI scans at Week 24 compared with Baseline. The primary objective in Part II (open label) of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety profile of BG00012 in eligible participants from Part I.

A 12 month study where 852 patients with relapsing remitting MS will be randomized 1:1 to fingolimod or approved disease modifying therapy. Patients will be be treatment naive or have only been treated with one class of DMT (Interferon beta preparation or glatiramer acetate) . Patients will be able to switch to different treatment for safety, efficacy, tolerability or convenience during the study. Primary objective is to evaluate efficacy of fingolimod by assessing patients retention on treatment. Secondary objectives are to compare reasons for discontinuation, adverse events, cognitive impairment, medication satisfaction and change in brain volume measured by MRI.

The primary objectives of the study are: To evaluate the effects of three oral doses of MT-1303 compared to placebo given for a period of 24 weeks in subjects with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) on MRI parameters To evaluate the safety and tolerability of three oral doses of MT-1303 compared to placebo given for a period of 24 weeks in subjects with RRMS.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether raltegravir is effective in preventing progression of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis as determined by gadolinium- enhanced MRI.

This study assessed the efficacy of fingolimod in patients with short duration relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who had not been previously treated with disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), versus patients with the same disease duration who had previously received first-line DMTs.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the change in patient-reported treatment satisfaction after 6 months of treatment with fingolimod 0.5mg/day vs. DMT standard of care, using the global satisfaction subscale of the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether melatonin is effective in the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients as a supplement to the main disease-modifying drugs.

This is a double-blinded, placebo controlled study of estriol pills versus placebo pills in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. The study treatment will be an added on to Copaxone injections in all subjects. The primary outcome measure is a reduction in relapses.

The purpose of this study was to determine the dose-response curve for the MRI-based efficacy of BAF312 compared with placebo in patients with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS), and to characterize its safety and tolerability for the selection of an optimal dose in a later phase III study. Study Design Rationale An adaptive design was chosen to characterize the dose response curve of BAF312. In a first period of study ("Period 1"), three doses of BAF312 and placebo were tested for MRI efficacy. Based on an interim analysis (IA) after 3 months of treatment, two additional active doses for period 2 wereselected , thus allowing to optimize the overall determination of the dose response curve with 5 data points of active treatment, and placebo. The doses were kept blinded. The use of Modeling and Simulation allowed to establish the full range and dynamics of the dose-response curve in silico, and hence the definition of the optimal dose for later phase III studies. The choice of placebo as treatment control was essential to obtain information on the specific compared to non-specific effects of active treatment and provides the best way of evaluating the efficacy and of assessing the true safety and tolerability profile of BAF312. Short-term placebo exposure (6 (Period 1) or 3 (Period 2) months, respectively) was unlikely to lead to longer term differences in outcomes [Polman, 2008]. The use of an adaptive design strategy contributed to a significant reduction of placebo exposure, both in terms of the number of patients and duration, as compared to conventional trial models. Patients having completed the study within the protocol might be eligible for the Extension Phase study where they receive long-term BAF312 treatment (a separate protocol).
