Active clinical trials for "Multiple Sclerosis"

The primary objective of the study is to assess the immunogenicity of Daclizumab High Yield Process (DAC HYP) 150 mg administered every 4 weeks by subcutaneous (SC) injection using the pre-filled syringe (PFS) in participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The secondary objectives of this study are to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of DAC HYP following single and multiple doses of DAC HYP administered by the PFS in a subset of participants with RRMS and to evaluate the effect of DAC HYP on the PK of probe drugs for cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes (CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and CYP3A).

The purpose of the present study is to test the hypothesis that aerobic training can reduce flu-like symptoms following interferon beta 1a injections in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. A secondary purpose is to evaluate whether or not changes in circulating cytokines provide a mechanism that can explain a potential positive effect.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects and tolerability of exercise on side effects of injectable disease modifying treatments in multiple sclerosis. The investigators main hypothesis is that controlled exercise is safe and can be well tolerated in patients with multiple sclerosis and it can improve disease modifying treatment related side effects such as fatigue.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Sativex® in subjects diagnosed with MS and spasticity.

To assess patient satisfaction with respect to the incidence of flu-like symptoms (FLS) in patients with multiple sclerosis transitioned from current Rebif (subcutaneously injected interferon beta-1a, 44 mcg three-times-weekly) to the new formulation of Rebif (RNF) while receiving ibuprofen either prophylactically or only when necessary (PRN) after the occurence of flu-like symptoms.

The primary objectives of this study were: to evaluate the effect of Tysabri® (natalizumab) on antibody responses after immunization with a neoantigen (keyhole limpet hemocyanin [KLH]) and a recall antigen (tetanus toxoid [Td]), and to evaluate the effect of Tysabri on circulating lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD19+, and CD56+) over time in participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). The secondary objective was to assess alpha4-integrin saturation and alpha4-integrin expression levels over time.

The purpose of the present investigation is to determine whether MS patients can tolerate and benefit from heavy progressive resistance training. A second purpose is to determine both neural and muscle morphological adaptations to heavy progressive resistance training.

Stress and anxiety can have an adverse impact on health, and the experience of many around the 2020 outbreak of COVID-19 is affecting health and well-being. Individuals with chronic disease such as multiple sclerosis may be particularly vulnerable in some ways, but also particularly resilient in others. This study evaluates the effects of belonging to online support groups that meet weekly for 12 weeks to address the stress and anxiety felt by individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This study will also measure and explore the effects of online support groups.

The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a personalized patient education program to the current hospital education and evaluate its impact using patient satisfaction scores. The investigators hypothesize that a personalized patient education intervention will increase patient's understanding of their diagnosis and satisfaction with the care as reflected in the survey results.

Regular physical activity is known to reduce the risk for some neurodegenerative disorders and their symptoms. Several studies have shown positive effects of therapeutic exercise interventions on motor- and cognitive function as well as psychosocial benefits in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS). To improve exercise recommendations, it is necessary to learn more about the underlying biological mechanisms. A reduction of inflammatory stress through physical exercise has been suspected as one key mechanism, mediating the positive effects of exercise in the context of MS (being a "classical" neuro-inflammatory disease). This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the influence of two different rehabilitative endurance exercise programs (3x/week moderate vs. vigorous endurance exercise) on (1) (anti-)inflammatory immune signalling and (2) various aspects of participation.
