Active clinical trials for "Multiple Sclerosis"

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 will be a 1:1 randomized open label trial. European and outside Europe centres will be involved. Aim of the project is to conduct a head-to-head comparison of effectiveness of two approved disease modifying treatments (DMTs) in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The term effectiveness refers to efficacy in a real life setting: this is intended to be in fact the first pragmatic multi-centre randomised controlled trial to directly assess the effectiveness of the new oral agents approved for MS (fingolimod/FTY versus dimethyl-fumarate/DMF) on disease activity, disability progression, quality of life, functioning and symptoms. It will be a randomized trial taking place in clinical care setting and comparing existing therapies, any of which may constitute standard care for naive patients or sub optimal responders to first-line drugs. Post hoc analysis will also identify the better treatment strategy on the different patient subgroups. Patient overall disease experience will be considered for the first time as the most important outcome. In fact, in addition to classical "no evidence of disease activity" (NEDA), a new composite NEDA taking account also of patient point of view and quality of life, will be proposed. Finally,the specific effectiveness profile of the two DMTs will be addressed, by exploring comparative benefits on different outcomes (disease activity, disability progression, brain atrophy, quality of life, fatigue, psychiatric and cognitive symptoms, medication satisfaction).

The purpose of this study is to to determine how implementing a home-based virtual reality video (VR) game exercise program in young people with Multiple Sclerosis(MS) can improve disability outcomes by measuring its impact on cognitive assessments (BICAMS), subjective measures of cognitive, physical and psychosocial disability, and motor assessments (6MWT).

To evaluate the effectiveness, patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and safety of cladribine tablets in participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS) including relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (aSPMS),who transition to cladribine tablets after suboptimal response to any injectable disease-modifying drugs (DMDs) approved in the United States (US) for RMS in a real-world setting.

This is an open-label, single-arm clinical trial. Trial participants will include men and women, aged 18-60 years who have had a first demyelinating event within the previous 180 days and who have brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with at least two brain T2 lesions which are at least 3 mm in diameter, and at least one of which is ovoid or periventricular or infra-tentorial. Treatment with minocycline until the endpoint is reached or to a maximum of 24 months or until the last-enrolled participant reaches their 12 month visit.

Newly diagnosed relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) and high risk clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) patients will be treated with ocrelizumab at disease onset to see if treatment favorably alters CSF markers of chronic inflammation.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of cladribine tablets in a UK real-world setting.

A multicentre controlled phase II trial to compare the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab or alemtuzumab and autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (aHSCT). Active relapsing-remitting MS-Patients will be included and randomised to ocrelizumab or alemtuzumab versus aHSCT. Primary endpoint will be the time to treatment failure as assessed by failure of NEDA (no evidence of disease activity) as represented by: no expanded disability status scale (EDSS) progression, no relapse, no new T2 lesion and no Gd-enhancing lesion. This trial offers the opportunity to gain further information about efficacy and safety of all treatments and will give new insights into the immunology of highly active RRMS.

The study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of evobrutinib administered orally twice daily versus Interferon-beta-1a (Avonex®), once a week intramuscularly in participants with RMS.
