Active clinical trials for "Multiple Sclerosis"

This study is to find out if Interferon-beta can recover its effectiveness in patients with Multiple Sclerosis who have previously developed neutralizing antibodies to Interferon-Beta.

This study is to find out the safety and effectiveness of Avonex (interferon-beta-1a) Therapy in patients who have developed neutralizing antibodies during previous interferon-beta treatment

To provide efficacy and safety data of two doses (0.5 mg and 1.25 mg) of FTY720 in Japanese patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS)

The primary objective of this study is to compare the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single subcutaneous (SC) and intramuscular (IM) doses of 300 mg natalizumab to intravenous (IV) administration of 300 mg natalizumab in multiple sclerosis (MS) participants. The secondary objectives are to investigate the safety, tolerability and PK of repeated natalizumab doses administered SC and IM, to investigate the immunogenicity of repeated natalizumab doses administered SC and IM, to explore proof of concept within the secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) population using change from baseline in clinical measures including: expanded disability status scale (EDSS), multiple sclerosis functional composite scale (MSFC), symbol digit modalities test (SDMT), visual analogue scale (VAS), and visual function test; and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures including: number of new or newly-enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions, number of new T1 hypointense lesions, number of new gadolinium-enhancing (Gd+) lesions, whole brain atrophy, magnetization transfer ratio (MTR), and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and to observe the effect of natalizumab administered IV and SC on brain MRI measures in participants with relapsing forms of MS.

The primary objective was to estimate the tolerability and safety of 2 doses of Teriflunomide administered once daily for 24 weeks, compared to placebo, in patients with multiple sclerosis [MS] with relapses who were on a stable dose of Glatiramer Acetate [GA]. The secondary objectives were: to estimate the effect of the 2 doses of Teriflunomide, compared to placebo, in combination with a stable dose of GA on Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI] parameters, relapse rate and patient-reported fatigue; to perform pharmacokinetic analyses of the 2 doses of teriflunomide in combination with a stable dose of GA.

SB-683699 is an oral medication that is thought to reduce the number of active white blood cells entering the brain; these white blood cells are part of the disease process for MS. This study will look at whether different doses of SB-683699 are effective and safe in patients with relapsing remitting MS.

To determine if treatment with BG00012 can decrease the number of MS relapses during a certain time period. To determine if, over time, BG00012 treatment can decrease the number of certain types of brain lesions commonly seen in MS patients and slow down the time it takes for the disease to get worse. The purpose of this study is also to determine the safety of BG00012 and how well it is tolerated. Another goal is to see what effect BG00012 may have on tests and evaluations used to assess MS.

General Note: throughout this record, "Rebif® New Formulation" is used for historical and consistency purposes. Objectives: Primary: To evaluate the efficacy of Rebif® New Formulation (Interferon-beta-1a [IFN-beta-1a], RNF), compared to placebo, in subjects with Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis and active disease by means of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) at the end of 16 weeks of treatment Secondary: To evaluate the efficacy of RNF by comparing the mean number of combined unique (CU) lesions per scan per subject between the initial 16 weeks of placebo treatment and 24 weeks of RNF treatment in the same subjects, originally randomized to placebo. Primary Endpoints: The primary endpoint is the difference between the number of CU active MRI lesions at Week 16 in the RNF group (Group 1) versus the placebo group (Group 2). Secondary Endpoints: The secondary endpoint is the difference in the mean number of CU active MRI lesions per scan per subject over the following treatment periods: Study Day 1 - Week 16 versus Weeks 17 - 40 for the subjects randomized to Group 2.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability and effectiveness of oral cladribine when taken in combination with Interferon-beta (IFN-beta) therapy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). This study randomized around 200 participants from approximately 50 sites located world-wide, who have experienced at least one relapse while taking IFN-beta therapy within 48 weeks prior to Screening, irrespective of disability progression. Secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) participants, who were still experiencing relapses, and participants who have received disease modifying drugs (DMDs), other than IFN-beta therapy, during their MS treatment history, but were currently on IFN-beta therapy and have experienced active MS symptoms (at least 1 relapse) during the 48 weeks prior to Screening, were enrolled. Participants were randomized in a 2:1 fashion to receive up to 4 cycles of oral cladribine or matching placebo in combination with IFN-beta therapy. Participants who completed the double-blind portion of the study were invited to participate in an open-label extension phase of matching study design.

The purpose of this study is to determine if BHT-3009 decreases inflammation (measured by gadolinium enhancing MRI lesions) in the brains of people with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis.
