TOTEM RRMS : TestOsterone TreatmEnt on Neuroprotection and Myelin Repair in Relapsing Remitting...

Multiple SclerosisRelapsing-Remitting

Centra nervous system (CNF) damage in multiple sclerosis (MS), are mainly attributed to myelin destruction, axonal abnormalities and subsequent degeneration, and are responsible for serious deficiencies. Current therapies are focused on the treatment of inflammation with several types of anti-inflammatory agents. However, there is an urgent need for innovative therapies promoting neuroregeneration and particularly myelin repair. It has been demonstrated that testosterone can act through neural androgen receptors to promote proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursors into mature oligodendrocytes in a cuprizone-induced animal model of demyelination. The rare clinical trials on testosterone are mainly exploratory. Here, we sought to demonstrate an effect of testosterone supplementation in testosterone-deficient patients in a multicenter, randomized, parallel-group, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial. The main objective will be to determine the neuroprotective and remyelinating effects of testosterone using tensor diffusion imaging techniques and thalamic atrophy analyzes. As secondary objectives, we would like to study the impact of testosterone supplementation on other conventional and unconventional MRI parameters and on clinical outcomes (cognition, fatigue, quality of life, impact on work / activity and anxiety / depression).

Effects of Chiropractic Care on Cytokine Levels in Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple SclerosisRelapsing-Remitting

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease associated with an imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory markers (cytokines) resulting in a demyelinating and neurodegenerative disease. There is early evidence that spinal manipulation (chiropractic care) is better than control in influencing immune (cytokine) activity in asymptomatic participants, but few studies have been completed in participants with chronic inflammatory conditions, such as MS. The purpose of this project is to examine the immediate (after a single thoracic spinal manipulation treatment) and summative impact (after 8 thoracic spinal manipulation treatments occurring over 4 weeks) on pro-inflammatory (interleukin (IL) IL-1ß, IL-2, IL-6, Tumor necrosis factor-alpha) and anti-inflammatory (IL-4, IL-10) plasma cytokines 20 minutes and 2 hours after thoracic spinal manipulation in participants diagnosed with neuroinflammatory relapsing-remitting MS (RR-MS). Spinal manipulation treatment will be limited to the thoracic spine. Secondary outcomes will include determining the impact of 8 thoracic spinal manipulations on fatigue, cognitive processing speed, pain, depression, sleep, and motor function through questionnaires and performance of various in assessments such as the timed 25 foot walk test.

Multiple SclerosisMultiple Sclerosis1 more

This study is designed to provide data on the immune response and safety of administering vaccines to relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) participants taking ozanimod compared to controls taking interferon-beta's or receiving no disease modifying therapies (DMTs). The data of this study will support the labels for ozanimod in multiple sclerosis (MS) because the effect of ozanimod on the vaccination response of MS participants is of interest to participants and prescribers.

Calorie Restriction in Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple SclerosisRelapsing-Remitting1 more

There is a strong relationship between metabolic state and immune tolerance through a direct control exerted on immune cells by specific intracellular nutrient-energy sensors. An increased "metabolic work load" represents a novel issue linking metabolism with loss of self-immune tolerance. Several disease-modifying drugs have been approved for Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RR-MS) treatments and have shown to reduce relapse rates by modulating immune responses; however, their impact on long-term disease progression and accrual of irreversible neurological disability remains largely unclear, underlining the need for novel therapeutic strategies. In this context, both acute fasting (AF) and chronic caloric restriction (CR) have been shown to improve experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Despite this evidence, no specific studies have been performed to dissect at the cellular level the mechanism of action of CR in the context of autoimmunity and MS. This study aims at investigating this specific point in order to pave the way for a wider utilization of a nutritional approach to alter MS progression and activity. The aim of this study is to improve the outcome of RR-MS and the efficacy of first line drug treatments (ie. Copaxone or Tecfidera) by altering the metabolic state of the host via calorie restriction with the aim to re-equilibrate immune/inflammatory responses of patients.

Multiple SclerosisRelapsing-Remitting

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the radiological efficacy of SC natalizumab over time through Week 24 in natalizumab-naïve participants, as measured by brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate additional lesion-related radiological efficacy measures over time, relapse-based clinical efficacy measures, disability improvement and worsening (EDSS), pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters, the immunogenicity of repeated doses, and safety in treatment-naïve participants of SC natalizumab.

RItuximab Versus Ocrelizumab in Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple SclerosisRelapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare relapse remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients treated by ocrelizumab or by rituximab followed for 2 years. The main question it aims to answer is : • to demonstrate the non-inferiority of rituximab versus ocrelizumab in active relapsing MS patients on the % of patients without disease activity at 2 years. During the 2 years, the study includes 6 follow-up visits and the completion of various health and quality of life questionnaires. The protocol visits follow the usual schedule of treatment infusions for the disease (at initiation of treatment, 15 days after, and then every 6 months). Two comparison groups: Researchers will compare rituximab treated patients versus ocrelizumab treated patients to see the % of patients without disease activity at 2 years.

Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

This study will evaluate if relapsing-remitting MS patients that have not had a relapse in the past year would benefit from a switch to ofatumumab versus staying on their continued current therapy. This study will also look at whether an elevated serum neurofilament light (NfL) level predicts enhanced benefit from a switch to ofatumumab.

CCMR Two: A Phase IIa, Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Trial of the Ability of the...

Multiple Sclerosis

The greatest unmet need for people with multiple sclerosis is an effective therapy for the progressive phase. Current treatments suppress the damage caused by the immune system but there is only a limited window in which these can work. Consequently, much of the research community is turning its attention to the process of repair, called remyelination, in which the lining of nerve cells is reformed. This protects nerves from dying and therefore can delay, prevent, or even reverse, disability progression. It has previously been shown that stem cells are already present in the brain that can carry out this process. Clemastine, an anti-histamine drug, can instruct them to become active and has already shown a beneficial effect in a phase 2 trial. Now, more recent experiments have shown that changes take place within these stem cells as they age, which prevents them responding to drugs like clemastine, but that this can be reversed by treatment with metformin, a commonly used anti-diabetes drug. Our goal is to establish whether the combination of metformin and clemastine can promote remyelination in people with MS. We will focus on people with relapsing MS as they will have a greater proportion of nerves healthy enough to allow remyelination to take place, which will maximise the chance of detecting an effect with a smaller sample size. Participants will also continue treatment with a current disease-modifying MS treatment, to reduce the chance of developing new areas of damage, allowing the trial to focus on the repair process. The treatment duration will be 24 weeks, but given the established safety of the proposed medications, we are able to limit the number of visits to the trial centre to ensure participation is not overly burdensome.
