Brimonidine Tartrate for the Treatment of Injection Related Erythema
Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS)The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the Injection Related Erythema (IRE) mitigation effect of a single administration of brimonidine tartrate in comparison with a vehicle gel (placebo). The secondary study objectives are to evaluate the IRE mitigation effect of a single administration of brimonidine tartrate in comparison with a vehicle gel on a more stringent definition scale, in accordance with the primary endpoint of the original brimonidine pivotal trials and participants' satisfaction with the overall appearance of their skin.
Lesion Load and Location in Relation to Cognition, Fatigue and Physical Disability in RRMS
Relapsing Remitting Multiple SclerosisIn relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) the relationship between cognitive impairment (CI), fatigue and physical disability with white matter lesion load (WM-LL), location among other volumetric measures using automated platforms is still unclear.
Observational Registry of Acthar Gel for Participants With Multiple Sclerosis Relapse
Multiple SclerosisRelapsing-RemittingActhar Gel was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1952. It has been used to treat many different illnesses, including multiple sclerosis. This study will observe how treatment with Acthar affected the daily lives of patients who suffer with relapsing/remitting MS. It will collect information on symptoms, recovery, treatment patterns and safety outcomes.
Participants Preferences to Disease Modifying Agents in Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Condition...
Multiple SclerosisRelapsing-RemittingThis multi-center non-interventional, observational, cross-sectional study in adult participants with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) will evaluate the participants' preferences for disease modifying treatments (DMT) in routine clinical practice.
Retrospective Study to Determine Effect of Rebif and Tecfidera on Infections and Lymphocytes
Relapsing-Remitting Multiple SclerosisThis study will be a single center, retrospective, pilot study to determine the effect of Rebif (interferon beta-1a) and Tecfidera (dimethyl fumarate) on infections on total lymphocyte counts, grade of lymphopenia, Cluster of Differentiation 4 (CD4) and Cluster of Differentiation 8 (CD8) counts and ratios in subjects aged 50 years and above with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS).
Disease Control in RRMS Transferring Treatment From Natalizumab to Fingolimod
Relapsing Remitting Multiple SclerosisThis is an observational study to develop new hypothesis regarding the dynamic and safety of switching from natalizumab to fingolimod: Comparison of disease activity (clinical and MRI) during the year after change of therapy in comparison to the year before change Dynamic of onset of disease activity after having stopped treatment with natalizumab Change of immunological parameters during treatment change from natalizumab to fingolimod in comparison to clinical and MRI measures
Mechanistic Studies of Teriflunomide in RRMS
Relapsing Remitting Multiple SclerosisThis study is to address the mechanism of action of teriflunomide in a phase IV open label trial with Teriflunomide in multiple sclerosis. Researchers will recruit 20 relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis patients (Group 1) start on treatment with teriflunomide (Aubagio). Patients will be enrolled from the Multiple Sclerosis Center at the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor. Meanwhile, 10 healthy controls will be recruited, to establish a healthy baseline for B and T cells, which are affected by both MS and its treatment (Group 2). This Study will collect baseline pre-treatment blood samples periodically for up to 2 years. Blood biomarker changes will be correlated with clinical response to teriflunomide treatment intervention.
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis in Sweden
Multiple SclerosisMultiple Sclerosis1 moreThis is an observational cohort study with retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. The study cohort is constituted of all patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) treated with autologous stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) in Sweden from 2004 when the first AHSCT was performed until 31 December 2019. The study aims to describe the effectiveness, safety and patient reported outcomes of AHSCT for MS through real world data. Treatment related mortality will be analyzed from start of mobilization until the end of the study. For other adverse events the data collection will end 3 months post-transplantation. A statistical subgroup comparison of efficacy and safety between the conditioning regimens BEAM-ATG and Cy-ATG will be included within the study.

Development of a Talk Therapy Protocol to Help Patients Make Treatment Decisions in MS
Relapsing-remitting Multiple SclerosisBetween 15-20% of MS patients decide not to initiate disease modifying therapies after being diagnosed with MS. For this study, we will develop a telephone-based talk therapy intervention and then conduct a randomized controlled trial. Patients will be assigned to either 5 weekly 20 minute telephone sessions of psychotherapy or a brief education control condition. We hypothesize that patients undergoing phone therapy will be more likely to indicate they are interested in initiating disease modifying medications than patients given brief education and treatment as usual.
