Relapsing Multiple SclerosisThe purpose of this study is to collect long-term safety, tolerability, effectiveness and health outcomes data in eligible subjects who have participated in a Novartis ofatumumab clinical MS study. Vaccination sub-study The purpose of this research sub-study is to find out the effects of ofatumumab on the development of antibody responses to selected vaccines and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) neo-antigen in subjects with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS).
Disease Modifying Therapies Withdrawal in Inactive Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Patients...
Multiple SclerosisFurther controlled and randomized prospective studies in Multiple sclerosis, analyzing the potential impact of treatment discontinuation on disability progression, focal disease activity and quality of life are needed. The optimum patient age and duration of inactive SPMS before treatment withdrawal and the monitoring procedures also need to be specified, the ultimate goal being to provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice. Following the previous retrospective experience, we decided to drive a multicenter prospective study in France based on the hypothesis that stopping disease modifying therapy will not induce an increased risk of disability progression and relapse in selected SPMS patients (older patients without lesion activity) but will improve the quality of life and may reduce treatment-related costs.
31P-MRS Imaging to Assess the Effects of CNM-Au8 on Impaired Neuronal Redox State in Multiple Sclerosis....
Multiple SclerosisREPAIR-MS is a single-center open label, sequential group, investigator and patient blinded study to assess the CNS metabolic effects, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of CNM-Au8 in patients who have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) within fifteen (15) years of Screening. The primary endpoint for this study changes from baseline to week 12 in CNS metabolic changes, based on 31P-MRSimaging.

Autoimmune DiseaseCrohn Disease12 moreThis phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
A Personalised Radiosurgery Procedure for People With Trigeminal Neuralgia to Improve Pain, Quality...
Trigeminal NeuralgiaMultiple Sclerosis1 moreThe aim of this study is to evaluate prospectively the feasibility and impact of personalised gamma knife radiosurgery treatment protocol versus current standard protocol for people with idiopathic or Multiple Sclerosis-related Trigeminal Neurolgia (MS related TN) on effectiveness in pain relief, the development of morbidity and quality of life. Patients with TN or MS-related TN are referred to the National Centre for Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Sheffield for clinical consultation, and will undergo gamma knife radiosurgery (GNRS) for treating trigeminal neuralgia if eligible. The GKRS treatment is provided as a standard National Health Service (NHS) routine care. The current procedure has been proven to be safe and effectiveness in reducing the pain caused by TN. The current GKRS treatment protocol performs the treatment on the trigeminal nerve close to the brainstem, which might result in higher complication rate (mainly facial numbness). This study will conduct a pilot randomised controlled trial to evaluate an alternative treatment protocol, which will perform the GKRS treatment at the retrogasserian zone (further away from the brainstem). This treatment protocol has been widely used in Europe and USA, and is safe and effective. Most studies adopting this protocol have shown less complication rate after treatment.
Home-based Action Observation Treatment With Virtual-reality for Arm Rehabilitation in People With...
Multiple SclerosisAction Observation Treatment (AOT) is a rehabilitative strategy which has been proposed as a promising approach to improve motor performance in neurological conditions, including multiple sclerosis (MS). In this clinical trial, the investigators aim to explore the role of a home-based AOT with virtual reality (VR) in improving upper limb motor function in people with MS (PwMS). The objectives are: To compare the effects of home-based VR-AOT versus VR-landscape observation (LO) on upper limb motor performance; To measure brain network functional changes (functional plasticity) and structural variations of gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) (structural plasticity) using advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques following VR-AOT and VR-LO; To study the correlations between MRI changes and clinical improvements and the predictors of VR-AOT efficacy. All participants will undergo treatment sessions for 3 weeks (5 consecutive days/week, total=15 sessions lasting 30 minutes each). Those in the VR-AOT group will observe, imagine and execute two upper limb motor tasks in each session. Those in the VR-LO group will perform the same tasks, but they will observe inanimate landscapes beforehand instead.
