Filter by:This is a multicenter, prospective, placebo-controlled, double-blind randomized Phase II clinical trial assessing the effect of testosterone treatment vs. placebo treatment for 96 weeks duration on whole brain atrophy in men with MS.
This is a study of Acthar gel (ACTH) in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis who are experiencing chronic fatigue.
This study looks to see the effects of a home based exercise program on falls in people with MS.
Primary Objective: To assess the long-term safety of GZ402668 in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) who received prior treatment during the TDU13475 or TDU14981 studies. Secondary Objectives: To assess the pharmacokinetics of GZ402668 in patients with MS. To assess the pharmacodynamics of GZ402668 in patients with MS. To assess the immunogenicity of GZ402668 in patients with MS.
The purpose of this study is to assess the comparative oral bioavailability of a Formulation B versus the Formulation A of MT-1303.
The primary aim of this study is to observe any changes in MRI in MS patients who have switched from 20mg injections/day to 3 40mg injections/week of glatiramer acetate.
This a retrospective, blinded trial in which collaborators in Italy will review the doppler findings from the Combined Transcranial and Extracranial Venous Doppler (CTEVD) trial in an attempt to measure reproducibility.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if Domperidone in a dose of 40 mg daily can prevent worsening of walking ability in people secondary progressive MS. The number of participants in this study will be 62. A maximum of 75 people with secondary progressive MS will be included. Each patient will be followed for 12 months from inclusion. Domperidone is a medication which has been shown to increase levels of the hormone prolactin. The best understood function of prolactin is the stimulation of milk production in women after delivery. However, the increase in prolactin levels seen in patients treated with standard doses of Domperidone (in doses of up to 80mg per day) usually does not lead to clinical symptoms. Prolactin has been shown to improve myelin repair in mice. Domperidone therefore may also improve myelin repair in people with MS. Domperidone is currently approved in Canada to treat slow moving bowels and nausea, for instance in patients with Parkinson's Disease or Diabetes Mellitus, where too slowly moving bowels can cause constipation. Domperidone is available as a tablet that is usually taken four times per day. Doses up to 80mg per day may be used but we estimate that a dose of only 40mg daily will be needed to stimulate myelin repair. Domperidone is usually well tolerated.
Rates of brain atrophy for long term users of fingolimod when compared to glatiramer acetate have not been examined in patients with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS). As patients on long term therapy typically have little or no overt signs of white matter inflammatory activity (T2, gad lesions), brain atrophy measures can provide insight into whether there is continued progression of MS in these patients. What remains unknown is whether patients on a particular therapy have a slower rate of brain atrophy. This would provide convincing evidence that central nervous system tissue injury is further suppressed. Such information would be of substantial clinical benefit when deciding between various therapies. The investigators will estimate the impact of long term use of fingolimod therapy (defined as a minimum of two years on therapy) on whole brain atrophy in treated patients with relapsing forms of MS as compared to age and gender matched patients on Glatiramer Acetate. The investigators secondary goal is to determine the correlation between brain atrophy and cognitive performance in treated patients with relapsing forms of MS. The investigators will also examine the correlation between the NeuroQualityofLife (NeuroQOL) PROs, patient self-reports of disability, clinical assessment of physical disability, work productivity, clinical assessments of cognitive functioning with whole brain volume loss for patients on long term fingolimod vs. long term glatiramer acetate therapy matched on age and gender. The investigators anticipate the findings of this study will generate relevant hypotheses about these relationships.
This study aims to collect follow-up data on approximately 90% of patients who were randomized and received one dose of study drug in FTY720D2201. No study drug is given or required. Patients will be required to be assessed at one or two visits, preferably at the original study site, but the option to be interviewed via phone or seen at home is provided. Information will also be gathered on deceased patients. Assessments will be performed only once within an 8 week period and include medical history, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Multiple Sclerosis Disease Modifying Therapy (MS DMT) history, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC).
