Filter by:The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safe and effective use of the single-use autoinjector for the intramuscular (IM) delivery of liquid Avonex® (interferon beta-1a) in participants with multiple sclerosis (MS).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether glatiramer acetate (Copaxone) will induce anti-inflammatory type II monocyte development during treatment of MS, and if these antigen presenting cells (APC) will promote Th2 and Treg differentiation of naïve T cells.
The purpose of this study is to determine if higher compliance and adherence rates to drug therapy for MS result in better health outcomes than lower rates of therapy compliance and adherence.
The primary objective of the study was to measure the change in bladder function as measured by Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI)-6 compared to baseline over 6 months of Tysabri treatment. Secondary objectives were to (i) measure change from baseline over 6 months of Tysabri treatment in the number of urinary incontinence episodes per participant per week, (ii) measure change from baseline over 6 months of Tysabri treatment in the number of micturitions per participant per day, (iii) measure change in The North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis (NARCOMS) bladder/bowel subscale (PSB) scores from baseline over 6 months of Tysabri treatment and (iv) measure change in Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ)-7 scores from baseline over 6 months of Tysabri treatment.
The study is an investigator-run, open-label Phase 1 safety study of autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, involving approximately 24 ambulatory participants with relapsing forms of MS (approximately equal numbers with relapsing-remitting and secondary progressive/ progressive relapsing MS) and evidence of involvement of the anterior afferent visual system.
REFLEXION is a double blind extension of the study 27025 (NCT00404352) (REFLEX). The purpose of the study is to obtain long-term follow-up data in subjects with clinically definite multiple sclerosis (MS) and subjects with a first demyelinating event at high risk of converting to MS, treated with fetal bovine serum [FBS]-free/human serum albumin [HSA]-free formulation of interferon [IFN]-beta-1a (RNF).
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a common disease affecting 1/1000 Canadians. Cognition impairment is reported in 40-65% of patients and is socially and functionally disabling. Although multiple sclerosis is widely regarded as a white matter disease, cortical disease burden is increasingly emphasized. Studies confirm that gray matter (GM) disease is grossly underestimated by conventional MRI. Although the cause for MS is unknown vascular impairment is implicated in nerve cell death. Several studies have shown perfusion abnormalities in the central GM and white matter (WM) structure. Severity of perfusion reduction correlates with lesion load, atrophy, MS subtype and disease duration. Further extent of cortical atrophy correlates with neurocognitive impairment. We hypothesize that cortical perfusion is a marker of cortical disease severity and correlates with neurocognitive impairment. To show this we will measure regional cortical perfusion and regional brain and WM lesion volumes in 26 predefined brain regions using a template developed for Alzheimer's disease. Regional perfusion will be correlated with neurocognitive tests validated for MS use. Patients will be divided into impaired and non impaired and perfusion compared controlling for known confounding factors. If confirmed cortical perfusion may be utilized as a surrogate marker of cognitive outcome in therapeutic studies.
The primary objective is to assess the activity of nerispirdine in improving the ability to walk, in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Secondary objectives: - To assess other measures of walking ability, tiredness, and lower limb muscular strength, spasticity, clinical assessment by subject and clinical assessment of change by the Study Investigator - To assess the safety and tolerance of nerispirdine - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) parameters of nerispirdine
The primary objective was to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of teriflunomide when added to treatment with interferon-β [IFN-β] or glatiramer Acetate [GA] in patients with multiple sclerosis [MS] with relapses. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the long-term effect on relapse rate, disability progression and Magnetic Resonance Imaging [MRI] parameters. This study is the extension study of the PDY6045 (NCT00489489) and PDY6046 (NCT00475865) studies. Participants who successfully completed the initial study were offered to continue their treatment (same compound, same dose) for 24 additional weeks.
The primary objective of this study is to document the long-term safety and tolerability of teriflunomide in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients with relapse. The secondary objective is to document the long-term efficacy on disability progression, relapse rate and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) parameters.
