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

A mixed methods randomized controlled trial pilot study to assess peer support impact on relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis patients' therapeutic adherence.

This is a prospective non interventional study including patients with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) or with Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders (NMOSD) and healthy subjects, who are enrolled within the routinely programmed clinical examinations at the IRCCS Neuromed (Pozzilli, Italy), IRCCS Polyclinic Hospital San Martino (Genoa, Italy) and Sant'Andrea Hospital - University of Rome La Sapienza (Rome, Italy). Specifically, the study investigates how ozanimod may contrast neurodegenerative mechanisms triggered by both arms of the adaptive immune response (T and B cells) and by their suboptimal regulation in MS. Overall, the project aims at assessing by in vitro experiments (there will be no patients on treatment with ozanimod and the drug will be only used in vitro): AIM1: ozanimod ability to modulate the synaptotoxic effect of T-cells derived from patients with MS relapse in a MS-chimeric ex-vivo model and to identify possible mediators (IRCCS Neuromed-Pozzilli, in collaboration with Synaptic Immunopathology Laboratory Dep. Systems Medicine, Tor Vergata University of Rome); AIM2: ozanimod ability to reduce the cytokine-mediated breakdown of the BBB and the migration of the here studied immune cells through ex vivo models of BBB (IRCCS Polyclinic Hospital San Martino); AIM3: ozanimod ability to affect the migration properties of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infected B cells in MS (Sant'Andrea Hospital); AIM4: ozanimod ability to modulate the number and/or function of regulatory T cells (Treg), a lymphocyte population playing a key role in the control of pathogenic adaptive immune responses (Treg Cell Laboratory, Università degli Studi di Napoli "Federico II", Naples, Italy, receiving blood samples from Neuromed Hospital and Sant'Andrea Hospital; not recruiting unit). The work of the four labs is conceptually and operationally integrated: the labs at IRCCS Neuromed-Pozzilli/Tor Vergata University (Aim1) and at Polyclinic Hospital San Martino (Aim2) will investigate the effects of ozanimod on well-known mechanisms of damage in MS, inflammatory synaptopathy and BBB damage and immune cell migration. The lab at Sant'Andrea Hospital (Aim3), will verify whether B cells infected by different EBV genotypes are involved in BBB migration, and how ozanimod may interfere with this mechanism. The Treg Cell Laboratory (Aim4) will investigate whether ozanimod can also act "upstream" of these mechanisms by regulating the adaptive immune response.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate whether Peg-IFN beta-1a improves the satisfaction of Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) participants unsatisfied with injectable subcutaneous Interferons, as measured by the Abbreviated Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire to Medication (TSQM-9), at 12 weeks. The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate in this study population: effects of Peg-IFN beta-1a treatment on participants' satisfaction at 24 weeks; effects of Peg-IFN beta-1a treatment on short-term participants' adherence; effects of Peg-IFN beta-1a treatment on participants' fatigue; effects of Peg-IFN beta-1a on disease activity and physical disability; impact of Peg-IFN beta-1a treatment on participant-reported health-related quality of life; impact of Peg-IFN beta-1a treatment on participants' injection-system satisfaction; Evaluate the relationship between participants' satisfaction and adherence; Evaluate the relationship between participants' satisfaction and social-demographic factors (age, sex, employment working, level of education, etc) and clinical characteristics (annualized relapse rate [ARR], disability, etc.) and to evaluate the treatment safety and tolerability.

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab in participants with RRMS who have had a suboptimal response to an adequate course of DMT. Participants will receive ocrelizumab as an initial dose of two 300-milligrams (mg) intravenous (IV) infusions (600 mg total) separated by 14 days followed by one 600-mg IV infusion for a maximum of 4 doses (up to 96 weeks). Anticipated time on study treatment is 96 weeks.

The humanised IgG4 monoclonal antibody GNbAC1 targets the envelope protein (Env) of the human endogenous multiple sclerosis-associated retrovirus (HERV-W MSRV), which may play a critical role in multiple sclerosis (MS). This study evaluates the effect on MRI lesions parameters, the safety and pharmacokinetics of GNbAC1 in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis.

This is a 24-week phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter safety study comparing the tolerance profile of olesoxime (495 mg, od) when administered on top of Interferon beta in patients with stable Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. Patients will be randomly allocated to olesoxime (495 mg, od) or placebo in a 1:1 ratio.

Primary Objective: To evaluate long-term safety of alemtuzumab. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate long term efficacy of alemtuzumab. To evaluate the safety profile of participants who received other Disease Modifying Treatment (DMT) following alemtuzumab treatment. To evaluate participant-reported Quality of Life (QoL) outcomes and health resource utilization of participant who received alemtuzumab. To evaluate as needed re-treatment with alemtuzumab and other DMTs.

A 6-month, Randomized, Active Comparator, Open-label, Multi-Center Study to Evaluate Patient Outcomes, Safety and Tolerability of (fingolimod) 0.5 mg/day in Patients with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis who are candidates for MS therapy change from Previous Disease Modifying Therapy.

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the efficacy of fish oil supplementation on serum proinflammatory cytokines levels, oxidative stress markers and disease progression in MS.

This is a multicenter study conducted in 3 parts. Part A is a double-blind placebo-controlled parallel-group period, and Part B and C are open-label extension periods. The primary objective of the double-blind study (Part A) is to assess the effect of Prolonged-Release Fampridine treatment on walking speed as measured by the T25FW (timed 25 foot walk) in Japanese participants with Multiple Sclerosis. The secondary objective of the double-blind portion of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of prolonged-release Fampridine in this study population. The primary objective of the open-label extension study (Part B) is to evaluate the long-term safety profile of prolonged-release Fampridine. The primary objective of the additional open-label extension (Part C) is to provide participants who complete the study with continued access to prolonged-release fampridine until marketed drug can be used at the applicable site or until sponsor decision to discontinue the study.
