Active clinical trials for "Multiple Sclerosis"

This is a prospective interventional study with a 12-month follow-up of patients diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Enrollment includes patients for whom Ozanimod will be prescribed based on regular clinical practice. It is proposed to integrate the measurements obtained using multiple instruments, with the aim of analyzing the immunological landscape, connectivity networks and anatomical traits of neurodegeneration. Patients will return for imaging and noninvasive electrophysiological studies 3, 6, and 12 months after initiation of therapy. On the same day, blood samples will be taken and immunological and biochemical tests will be performed.

Rationale: Ocrelizumab is widely and effectively used to treat relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). Phase II studies and data from large patient cohorts indicate that rituximab, another anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, is probably equally effective and safe as ocrelizumab in the treatment of RMS. An advantage of rituximab is a considerably lower price. Therefore we will start a study aimed at demonstrating non-inferiority of rituximab compared to ocrelizumab in RMS. If non-inferiority of rituximab can be shown, important reductions in the cost of treatment of RMS will be possible, without loss of efficacy. Objective: Evaluating the efficacy and safety of ritixumab compared to ocrelizumab in the treatmens of RMS. Study design: Randomized double blind multi-centre non-inferiority study of rituximab compared to ocrelizumab in 200 patients with RMS. The trial duration will be 30 months Study population: The study population consists of 200 adult RMS patiens with an indication to start anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody treatment. Intervention: Patients will be randomized 1:1 into the standard group (ocrelizumab treatment) or the experimental group (rituximab treatment). Main study parameters: To conclude non-inferiority of rituximab there will be one primary endpoint: the proportion of patients free of inflammatory disease activity (defined as: new or enlarged T2 lesions) between week 24 (M6) and week 96 (M24) of treatment in each arm. Secondary trial endpoints are presence and number of clinical relapses,T2 and contrast enhancing lesion volumes, brain volume and brain volume changes, disease progression (defined as clinically relevant change on any of the measures: EDSS, T25FW, 9HPT, SDMT), biochemical parameters such as lipidomics and neurofilament light (NfL), immunological parameters, safety as measured by the number of (serious) adverse events ((S)AE), quality of life (EQ-5D-L) and treatment satisfaction (TSQM) and patient reported measures of MS impact (MSIS-29) and well-being (questionnaire on physical complaints) Nature and extent of the burden and risk: Patients included in this study will be treated and monitored by MRI, clinical tests and laboratory tests according to existing protocols and will not be exposed to extra or unknown risks. They will have extra annual questionnaires and larger blood samples at some time points. There is extensive experience with both rituximab and ocrelizumab as efficacious and safe treatments of RMS.

The primary purpose of this phase 3b study is to assess the maintenance of efficacy after transition from current anti-CD20 therapy to ublituximab, as measured by T1 Gadolinium (Gd)-enhancing lesions.

The study will compare the effect of individual telerehabilitation with offline remote exercise through videos and with a control group without intervention. The monitored group will be people with multiple sclerosis with balance impairment. The duration of the intervention will be 12 weeks.

This study is designed to compare two non-myeloablative conditioning regimens (combination of chemotherapy and immune specific proteins against immune cells) for relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The two conditioning regimens are the most commonly used world wide in clinical practice for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). The first investigational conditioning regimen is cyclophosphamide (chemotherapy) and rATG (rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin, a protein against immune cells). The second investigational conditioning regimen includes the same dose of cyclophosphamide (chemotherapy) and rituximab (a protein against immune cells). Both cyclophosphamide and either rATG or rituximab are given to kill immune cells that are thought to be causing MS, followed by return of one's own previously collected blood stem cells (autologous stem cell transplant) to hasten recovery. The goal of this study is to assess the difference of these treatments in terms of toxicity and efficacy.

The aim of the study is to determine the benefits of outpatient group rehabilitation with subsequent telerehabilitation. The patient will participate in a 12-week circuit training, including training once a week in a group of six under the guidance of two physiotherapists. After the outpatient rehabilitation, the patient will gain access to a mobile application and will be asked to record all physical activities there.

This study is to identify the safety and efficacy of repeat IV(Intravenous) and IT(Intrathecal) administrations of UMSC01 in patients with MS. While anti-inflammatory drugs are routinely used for the treatment of MS by inhibiting immune responses, their effects on axon remyelination or neuroregeneration are limited. The combined systemic delivery of UCMSCs via intravenous injection and local administration of the cells by IT was to have safety and therapeutic efficacy for patients with MS.

Primary objective of this study is to explore the impact of a 3-week upper limb hand function training in patients with PD, MS or stroke. The benefits on hand function of this training program will be evaluated. The hypothesize is that the 3-week upper limb hand function training improves finger dexterity.

The goal of the present study is to evaluate the effects of a dance-based concept entitled MS Ballroom Fitness (developed in Denmark by PT Elisabeth Dalsgaard) in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). A total of 66 pwMS will be enrolled and equally randomized into an intervention group or a control-waitlist group. Those in the intervention group will undertake 7 weeks of MS Ballroom Fitness, with 2 sessions per week. The investigators assume that balance, walking capacity as well as well-being will be improved.

Clinical study BCD-132-4/MIRANTIBUS is an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-masked study using an active reference drug (teriflunomide). The goal of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of BCD-132 in the treatment of patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis.
