Filter by:An International Multicenter Double-blind Placebo-controlled Randomized Study to Compare the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of BCD-054 (JSC BIOCAD, Russia), 180 μg and 240 μg, versus Avonex® (Biogen Idec Ltd., UK) in Patients with Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis
The goal of this pilot study is to test the protocol for investigating the longer-term effects of torso weighting on physical activity, number of falls, and muscle activation (when muscles turn on and off and how intensely) in five volunteers with multiple sclerosis. The hypotheses of this study include: torso weighting will (1) increase physical activity, (2) decrease the number of falls, and (3) improve the timing and coordination of muscle activation during balance perturbations.
This is an international, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of an internet-based CBT intervention for depression (Deprexis) conducted in five MS centers in the US and Germany. The trial consists of a three-arm primary trial phase and an extension phase targeted at maintenance.
Depression is one of the most common symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) with a life-time prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) of up to 50%. Depression occurs more frequently in MS than in other chronic diseases including other neurological and inflammatory disorders and may contribute to lower quality of life, cognitive problems, difficulties at work, and poorer long term health outcomes. Despite its clinical relevance, the biological mechanisms which may be responsible for the high risk for MS patients to develop depression are unknown. In this observational study, investigators explore the molecular mechanisms responsible for the impaired regulation of immune cells in relapsing-remitting (RR) MS patients with depression. Investigators will compare the molecular and phenotypical profile of immune cells obtained from RRMS patients with clinical depression (n=50), matched MS patients who do not suffer from depression (n=50) as well as matched healthy controls (n=50) and matched patients with depression but without a comorbid neurological disorder (n=50).
The purpose of this investigation is to systematically study the efficacy of Tecfidera in those individuals who possess incidental white matter anomalies within the brain following a MRI study that is performed for a reason other than for the evaluation of MS (multiple sclerosis).
This study evaluates the use of single agent ublituximab, a novel monoclonal antibody, in participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis.
This randomised controlled trial aims to explore the effectiveness of a four week programme of exercise using lower limb Active Passive trainer (APT) (MOTOmed trainer) in terms of spasticity in people with moderate to severe Multiple Sclerosis.
Objectives: Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) therapy may cause a measureable change in bacterial species of the gut. The primary objectives of this study are: 1. Determine whether a measureable change in bacterial species representation follows the institution of DMF. 2. Determine whether a specific pattern of change in the microbiota phylotype with DMF therapy correlates to onset and severity of gastrointestinal disturbances (heartburn, nausea, flatulence, and diarrhea). 3. Determine whether any instability of microbiota phylotype representation persists following the institution of DMF or whether stabilization relates to resolution of gastrointestinal disturbances. 4. Determine whether there is a correlation between a pre-existing functional bowel disorder and development or severity of gastrointestinal disturbances and of peripheral eosinophilia. Design: Double-blinded, prospective, single-center pilot study. Patient Population: Individuals 18 years or older, with a confirmed diagnosis of a relapsing form of multiple sclerosis. Treatment Groups: This study will be an open-label prospective study design with respect to MS immunomodulatory therapy choice. Study group will be defined as subjects with a relapsing form of multiple sclerosis, as defined by the McDonald criteria, choosing to begin DMF therapy.
Study design is double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study in 3 parallel groups with the use of active comparator and placebo. Total duration of therapy of about 2 years. Study hypothesis is equivalence of efficacy and safety of the investigational drug BCD-033 original drug Rebif®.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of a training of the inspiratory muscles against resistance at home during 10 weeks in multiple sclerosis patients with a severe disability.
