Filter by:The primary objective of the study is to evaluate relapse activity, as measured by the proportion of participants relapsed at 12 months, in participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who transition from Tysabri (BG00002) to Tecfidera (BG00012) in the real-world setting. The secondary objective is to further evaluate relapse activity, defined as annualized relapse rate (ARR), hospitalization and intravenous corticosteroid use, during the first year of Tecfidera treatment following transition from Tysabri treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact that treatment with a cellular concentrate derived from an individual's own fat, known as the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), has on the quality of life of people with multiple sclerosis (MS). SVF contains components with "regenerative" properties, including stem cells that may be capable of ameliorating specific disease conditions. This study is designed to evaluate quality of life changes in individuals with MS for up to 12 months following SVF treatment.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the capacity of a 6-week treatment with neuromuscular electrical stimulation to improve walking in individuals whose mobility has been compromised by multiple sclerosis.
Multi-center, randomized , double-blind, placebo-controlled , two arm parallel design study of NeuroVax™ vs. Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant ( I F A) placebo. 150 subjects with Secondary Progressive SPMS.
Phase 4, single center, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Fifty (50) patients with MacDonald criteria (2005) multiple sclerosis will undergo active motor training as per the NeuroGym protocol, consisting of 3 sessions of 1 hour per week for a period of 6 weeks (total of 18 sessions). Half of the patients will be randomized to receive prolonged-release fampridine 10 mg BID as per label, and the other half will receive a placebo BID. All patients will continue to take their medication (fampridine or placebo) during a subsequent observational period of 8 weeks. Patients will be evaluated at times -4, 0, 6 and 14 weeks. Study Objectives: Primary: To demonstrate that MS subjects treated with prolonged-release fampridine 10mg BID will show greater benefit from active motor training as compared with subjects treated with placebo in terms of incidence of responders, degree of response, and duration of response. Secondary: To demonstrate that MS subjects treated with prolonged-release fampridine 10mg BID will show greater benefit from active motor training as compared with subjects treated with placebo in terms of quality of life measures.
Prolonged-release fampridine (SR-fampridine) can improving walking capacity in approximately 40% of MS patients suffering from this by overcoming partly or total conduction block due to demyelination. Resistance training has been shown to provide the same kind of benefits for patients by targeting the muscular component of the motor unit. Thus by combining the two it is likely to see an synergistic effect. This trial is designed as a double blind, randomized placebo controlled trial with subsequent cross-over. Participants in the two arms will go through the same progressive training program targets at the lower limbs. For 24 weeks one group receives SR-fampridine and the other receives placebo. in the the end there is another four weeks of training after cross-over has been performed.
The primary objective of this project is to track changes over time in balance control parameters measured during stance and gait for different groups of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Our primary goal is to determine whether these changes in balance control over time predict transitions in MS progression to a more disease affected state, and are different from changes over time for patients with balance deficits due to vestibular sensory disorders. A part of this goal is also to determine whether these changes in balance control are correlated with changes in patients' self-reported deficits and are similar to those changes in balance control of patients with peripheral vestibular loss. The secondary objective is to determine for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients the relationship of their balance parameters to different gait speeds, in order to advise them on, and promote via feedback, safe walking speeds. Fulfilling the first of our objectives would lead to better tracking of MS disease changes over time, earlier quantification of onset of symptoms suggesting a worsening of disease status, and, we assume, greater patient satisfaction knowing that quantification of symptoms fits subjective feelings of balance deficits during stance and gait. Achieving the second objective would lead to improved balance during gait. We aim to carry out these objectives using equipment (SwayStar) which we have proven is sensitive to MS induced balance deficits {2}, but costs far less to operate and maintain than previously used quantification tools. We aim to investigate the balance deficits during gait in different MS patient groups using a multimodal approach with a SwayStar system (analysis of balance during stance and gait in terms of trunk-pelvis movements near the centre of mass) and patient questionnaires.
Most experts in the field consider Multiple Sclerosis as the main auto immune disease of the central nervous system. In spite of many works, the data in the literature concerning the antigens targeted by the CD8+ T-Cell response are still contradictory and insufficient.
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of natalizumab (BG00002, Tysabri®) in the study population (Russian participants with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis). The secondary objectives are to look at evaluation of severity of relapse, hospitalization and steroid use requirement; Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), functional tests, quality of life self-assessment questionnaires including the short form health survey self-assessment questionnaire (SF-36) and multiple sclerosis impact scale 29 (MSIS-29), evidence of MRI disease activity, participants free of disease activity (clinical activity and/MRI activity) and anti JC Virus (JCV) antibody evaluation.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity of natalizumab (BG00002) 300 mg subcutaneous (SC) administered to participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety of natalizumab SC injections and to evaluate the efficacy of natalizumab SC injections on relapses and on new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions.
