Active clinical trials for "Multiple Sclerosis"

The purpose of this study is to explore the safety, tolerability and activity of Nivolumab, a PD-1 inhibitor, in cohorts of patients with autoimmune disease. Two cohorts of patients will be enrolled, based on autoimmune disease type. Patients will be screened within 28 days prior to the start of dosing. Eligible patients will be enrolled in either of the two cohorts. Patients will receive treatment every two weeks, in an outpatient setting. One cycle is a 28-day period, with Nivolumab given on days 1 and 15 of a 28-day cycle. Subjects will be permitted to continue treatment beyond initial RECIST 1.1.

This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of multiple doses of nabiximols compared with placebo on a clinical measure of velocity-dependent muscle tone in the lower limbs (Lower Limb Muscle Tone-6 [LLMT-6]) in participants with multiple sclerosis (MS). LLMT-6 is defined as the average of the 6 individual Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)-transformed scores of knee flexors, knee extensors, and plantar flexors on both sides of the body.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the toxicity and the effectiveness of high dose chemotherapy with HPC transplant Multiple Sclerosis that has failed at least two lines of therapy

The purpose of this study is to explore immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive mechanisms of action of fingolimod in patients with Relapsing remitting multiple Sclerosis to collect data on biomarkers after initiation of fingolimod treatment.

This study will investigate an experimental new drug, GSK1223249 in patients diagnosed with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis. The study will specifically investigate safety (vital signs like heart rate, blood pressure, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and other markers of health from blood samples), tolerability (any side effects that occur, if any), and pharmacokinetics (how the body processes the drug and how long the drug stays in the blood, and in cerebro-spinal fluid). The study will also investigate if patients' own immune system interacts with GSK1223249.

Examination of efficacy, safety and tolerability of vitamin D3 in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

This is a 3-part study where Parts A, B (single-blind - investigator and subject blind) will enrol healthy volunteers and Part C (open-label) will enrol RRMS patients. Parts A (single ascending dose) and B (repeat ascending dose) will assess safety, tolerability, PK and PD of GSK2618960. Part C (repeat doses) will assess safety, tolerability, PK, PD, immunogenicity, paraclinical (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] lesion counts) disease activity and markers of Th1 and Th17 mechanisms. Part A: Each of the 24 healthy volunteers (divided in 5 groups), will take part in only 2 of the planned 8 dosing sessions (A-active, P-placebo). Subjects in each group of Part A will be randomized in a 2:1:1 ratio to one of the following sequences: AA, AP or PA such that in each dosing session they will receive study treatment in a 3:1 ratio of active: placebo respectively. Part B: Dosing levels and regimen are dependent upon safety tolerability and PK/receptor occupancy (RO) data from Part A. In Cohort 1, 12 subjects will be randomized in a 3:1 ratio to A or P. Each subject will receive the same study treatment for repeated doses. If the duration of full RO from highest dose in Part A is less than 4 weeks, a second cohort of 12 subjects in Part B may be recruited, based on Dose Escalation Committee (DEC) decision Part C: The 20 RRMS patients will be assigned to active treatments for 2 to 4 repeated doses. Safety/tolerability and PK data monitoring and the decision to proceed to the next dose level of GSK2618960, and the decisions to proceed to Part B and Part C of the study will be made by a dose escalation committee.

To determine the efficacy and safety of an oral drug (BGC20-0134) in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. Specifically, the cumulative number of new gadolinium enhancing lesions after 24 weeks of treatment with BGC20-0134.

This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of 10 cm² rivastigmine patch vs. placebo in cognitively impaired Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. Primary objective was the assessment of cognition by the Selective Reminding Test (SRT) -a subtest of the brief repeatable battery (BRB) - after titration of 4 weeks and maintenance of 12 weeks. This double-blind period was followed by a 52-week open-label treatment phase to assess long-term safety of rivastigmine patch in these patients.

The objective of this study is to explore the effects of darifenacin in patients with multiple sclerosis and neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The efficacy, safety and tolerability of darifenacin are already well established in idiopathic detrusor overactivity. Patients with multiple sclerosis and neurogenic detrusor overactivity without detrusor-sphincter-dyssynergia (DSD) will be allocated to darifenacin therapy.
