Active clinical trials for "Multiple Sclerosis"

This is a Phase 2 multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, parallel-group trial to assess the efficacy and safety of 2 once-daily oral doses of IMU-838 (vidofludimus calcium), a small molecule inhibitor of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), 30 mg/day and 45 mg/day in the main study, cohort 1 (and 10 mg/day for the patients in the cohort 2 substudy), in patients with RRMS and evidence of active disease. The trial consists of a screening period, a blinded 24-week main treatment period, and an optional initially blinded, then open-label extended treatment period of up to 9.5 years. About 40 centers are planned to participate in Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Poland; potential additional centers in Hungary and Croatia were not used. The study started with 195 patients in the main group (cohort 1) planned to be randomized 1:1:1 to treatment with 30 mg/day or 45 mg/day IMU-838, or placebo (65 patients each) in the main treatment period. During the extended treatment period, patients were initially re-randomized so that patients previously on placebo were re-randomized 1:1 to treatment with 30 g/day or 45 mg/day IMU-838, all other patients were re-randomized to the same treatment they previously received. With approval of Protocol Version 3.0, a sub-study patient group (cohort 2) has been added with up to 60 patients, randomized to placebo or 10 mg IMU-838 for 24 weeks after which the option is available to continue into the extended treatment period and the recommended dose of 30 mg/day. However, based on discussion between investigator and patient 45 mg/day IMU-838/day may also be used.

This is a multi-site randomized clinical trial comparing 3 modes of delivering the Managing Fatigue course for reducing fatigue in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). The primary hypothesis is that the teleconference and internet versions of the course will be noninferior to the one-on-one, in person version in terms of the primary outcome of fatigue and secondary outcome of quality of life.

Chronic pain is one of the most prevalent, disabling and persistent symptoms affecting people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Different nonpharmacological treatments are known to be beneficial for managing pain, including cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness based cognitive therapy. This study compares these two non-pharmacological approaches to pain management in people with Multiple Sclerosis. The purpose of this study is to see if these treatments can help decrease pain and other outcomes (e.g., sleep, fatigue) in persons with Multiple Sclerosis. The study will determine who benefits from these treatments and if these treatments can be given effectively by videoconference.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATA188 as a monotherapy in Parts 1 and 2, to determine the recommended Part 2 dose (RP2D) of ATA188 as monotherapy in Part 1, and to evaluate the effect of ATA188 treatment on clinical disability, as assessed by confirmed Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) improvement at 12 months in Part 2 in participants with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) (primary progressive multiple sclerosis [PPMS] and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis [SPMS]).

The study AC-058B301 (OPTIMUM; NCT02425644) has been designed to investigate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of ponesimod in subjects with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). The AC-058B303 study is the long-term extension for the core study AC-058B301. The purpose of this long term extension of the core study AC-058B301 is to characterize the long-term safety, tolerability, and control of disease of ponesimod 20 mg in subjects with RMS.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of the Swank Diet (low saturated fat) and the Wahls Elimination Diet (modified paleo) on fatigue levels in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who have documented fatigue. Participants will follow their usual diet for 12 weeks and then be randomly assigned to follow one of the two diets for 24 weeks.

A safety study of ANK-700 in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. The study has two parts: Part A - first in human study in which patients receive a single dose of ANK-700 Part B - patients will receive three doses of either ANK-700 or placebo

Background: Some multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions stay inflamed for very long periods of time. This type of inflammation is not affected by any MS medications. These lesions can lead to slow worsening of MS symptoms. Researchers want to see if a new drug can help. Objective: To see if tolebrutinib can help clear inflammation in MS brain lesions. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older with MS who are on an anti-CD20 therapy. Design: Participants will be screened under protocol #89-N-0045. Participants will have a medical history. They will have physical and neurological exams. They will have blood and urine tests. The progression of their MS will be assessed. Participants will have MRIs of the brain. The MRI scanner is shaped like a cylinder. It uses a magnetic field and radio waves to take pictures of the body. During the MRIs, participants will lie on a table that slides in and out of the scanner. Soft padding or a coil will be placed around their head. Participants may have electrocardiograms to measure the heart s electrical activity. Participants may have lumbar punctures ( spinal taps ). A small needle will be inserted into the spinal canal in the lower back. Fluid will be collected. Some participants will take tolebrutinib pills by mouth once a day for at least 96 weeks. They will stop their anti-CD20 therapy. They will have at least 10 study visits. Some participants will not take tolebrutinib. They will stay on their anti-CD20 therapy. They will have 5 study visits. Participation will last at least 96 weeks.

The goal of this pilot study is to determine whether fecal microbial transplant (FMT) has the potential to be an effective, safe and tolerable therapy for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). The investigators plan to gather preliminary data in a small cohort of 10 to 15 adults with MS.

This is a multicenter, longitudinal, single-arm, open-label study to describe the change from baseline in cognitive processing speed, measured by the SDMT, in subjects with RMS treated with ozanimod HCl 1 mg at 3 years. All subjects will receive orally administered ozanimod HCl 1 mg. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of subjects with a clinically meaningful increase in raw score of ≥ 4 points or 10% from baseline (improved). The treatment period is 36 months. For all subjects who finish the subject and for those who discontinue, there will be a 30-day (± 15 days) and a 90-day (± 10 days) Safety Follow-up Visit. There is no planned protocol extension following the end of the study. Approximately 250 subjects with RMS will be recruited for this study. Subjects with RMS will be enrolled in this study if they have received ≤ 1 DMT, have an EDSS ≤ 3.5, and have been diagnosed with RMS within 5 years of study entry. The Investigator will be responsible for the overall conduct of the study at the site, confirmation of subject eligibility, routine study subject clinical management including for MS relapses, and management of AEs.
