Active clinical trials for "Sclerosis"

The aim of this protocol is to find out about the safety and effectiveness of M2951 in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Participants were placed into 1 of 3 groups to receive M2951, placebo or tecfidera for 24 weeks. After 24 weeks, the participants on placebo were given M2951.

This is a phase IIa study in which GA Depot 80 or 40mg is administered as an IM injection to subjects with RRMS at 4 week intervals for 52 weeks of treatment. The purpose of the study is to assess safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a monthly long-acting IM injection of 80 or 40mg GA Depot in subjects with RRMS. The study will include subjects switching from daily or thrice weekly administration of 20 mg or 40mg respectively of glatiramer acetate (GA, i.e., Copaxone®) injection

The purpose of the study is to determine if lipoic acid can preserve mobility and protect the brain in progressive forms of multiple sclerosis.

Nearly 60% of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) patients have a low level of diagnostic certainty (possible, probable) at the time of diagnosis. In the absence of biomarkers, this diagnosis is based, among other things, on the demonstration of the diffusion of signs of denervation by electroneuromyography (ENMG). The objective of this study is to improve the earliness and the level of diagnostic certainty by better demonstrating the diffusion of the denervation process by whole body muscular MRI.

Cognitive impairment is nowadays more and more recognized as an important feature of the multiple sclerosis (MS) disease. Cognitive disorders frequency in MS is estimated between 40 and 60%. Cognitive impairment affects quality of life and vocational status in MS patients. Until recently, little information was available on the cognitive dysfunction and their evolution that occur in primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS) as compared with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS). In PPMS pathological studies have shown the importance of cortical demyelination and meningeal inflammation suggesting that the GM alteration could play a major role in the cognitive impairment in this phenotype. The cognitive evolution and the brain tissue alteration at the origin of these difficulties remain poorly understood in PPMS. The use of new techniques for morphological and functional MRI can study the contribution of diffuse White Matter (WM) alteration (probably through disconnexion of relevant network) and diffuse Grey matter (GM) alterations in the cerebral cortex and other structures (the hippocampi, the cerebellum, and the thalami) in cognitive impairment in PPMS patients and on their evolution.

Open-label, prospective, single-arm, multi-center study to assess disease activity and biomarker of neuronal damage in minority patients (self-identified Black or African American (AA) and Hispanic/Latino (HA) patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) receiving treatment with Ocrelizumab. The study plans to enroll approximately 150 participants (75 AA and 75 HA) with 50 participants enrolled in a CSF sub-study.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, immune-mediated, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Typical brain lesions of the disease may be partially repaired by an endogenous remyelination process which is limited and tends to deplete over the course of the disease. Cladribine tablets are an approved treatment that promotes selective lymphocyte depletion, reducing the inflammatory activity of the disease. The present study is based on the hypothesis that improved inflammatory control through cladribine tablets provides a tissue microenvironment more favorable for remyelination of brain lesions in MS. This hypothesis will be evaluated by a single-arm, open-label, phase IV, single-center, proof-of-concept clinical trial in which 10 participants with relapsing-remitting, highly active MS, relatively early in the course of the disease, will receive conventional treatment with cladribine tablets and will be followed-up for 48 months. Neurological, neuropsychological and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters will be measured. Remyelination will be assessed by a novel MRI technique called the q-Space myelin map. Additionally, the peripheral blood lymphocyte and cytokine profiles will be evaluated in order to understand the immunological aspects that influence the remyelination capacity in patients treated with cladribine tablets. The study will be conducted in accordance with current regulations governing clinical research in Brazil.

This study will explore the expression of PARP-1 in optic neuritis of multiple sclerosis patients. The data will be collected from Sohag University hospital in the period from the start of August 2021 to the end of December 2021. The study protocol will be approved by the Scientific Research Ethical Committee, Faculty of Medicine, Sohag University.

The main gold of this study is to lead a multicentric, prospective study, to evaluate the diagnostic quality of tears in children with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) during a longitudinal follow-up.

This study aim to ensure that the implementation of a paramedical screening program and counseling in sexual health of patients with neurological pathologies (low-grade gliomas and Multiple Sclerosis) improves their sexual health.
