Filter by:This study aims to investigate metabolic effects of a standardized green tea extract, containing a defined amount of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), in multiple sclerosis patients.
The aim of this study is the comparison between the effects of supplementation with 25000 IU preformed vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) or placebo for first 6 months and 10000 IU/day for next 6 months on disease activity and progression in patients with Multiple Sclerosis.
This study will investigate how 3 types of drug formulations are absorbed by the body. This study is termed 'open-label', which means volunteers will be aware of which treatment they are receiving. The study is split into 2 parts. Part 1, involves volunteers receiving 2 new formulations, as a single dose. There is no placebo (dummy-drug; no active ingredient) in this study. Volunteers will also receive a single dose of a formulation used in previous trials (reference formulation), so a proper comparison with the new formulations can be made. The new fomulations will be administered with food and the reference formulation will be given without food. In Part 2, volunteers will receive only one of the 3 formulations as a repeat dose for 7 days. Each of these doses will be given with food.
This is a Phase 3b, multicenter, international study conducted in 2 parts. Upon completion of the placebo-controlled period (Part 1), participants will have the option of enrolling in a 2-year open-label extension (Part 2). Part 1: The primary objective of the study is to investigate whether treatment with natalizumab slows the accumulation of disability not related to relapses in participants with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). The secondary objectives of Part 1 of this study are to determine the proportion of participants with consistent improvement in Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), the change in participant-reported ambulatory status as measured by the 12-item MS Walking Scale (MSWS-12), the change in manual ability based on the ABILHAND Questionnaire, the impact of natalizumab on participant-reported quality of life using the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 Physical (MSIS-29 Physical), the change in whole brain volume between the end of study and Week 24 using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the proportion of participants experiencing progression of disability as measured by individual physical Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) system scores. Part 2: The primary objective of Part 2 of the study is to evaluate the safety profile of natalizumab in participants with SPMS. The secondary objectives of Part 2 of the study are to investigate long-term disability (based on clinical or patient-reported assessments) in participants with SPMS receiving natalizumab treatment for approximately 4 years and to assess change in brain volume and T2 lesion volume.
The primary objective of the study is to further evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability profiles of BG00002 (natalizumab) in Japanese participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The secondary objective of this study is to further evaluate the long-term efficacy profile of BG00002 in Japanese participants with RRMS.

Identification of adverse event occurred in the real practice 3. Factors that may affect the safety of drug 4. Factors that may affect the effectiveness of the drug
The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether a 12 week Pilates based core stability training programme is effective in improving balance, mobility and balance confidence in ambulant individuals with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
Open-label, single center, phase I clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy and in vivo mechanisms of action of i.v. administration of autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) chemically coupled with a cocktail containing seven immunodominant myelin peptides to which T cell responses are demonstrable in early RR MS patients.
Trichuris suis ova (TSO) is a probiotic treatment based on the hygiene hypothesis, that has proven safe and effective in autoimmune inflammatory bowel disease. Clinical trails indicate that helminth infections have an immunomodulatory effect in multiple sclerosis as well. Investigators hypothesize that TSO® 2500 eggs given oral every 2 weeks for 12 months is - due to its immunomodulatory and antiinflammatory effect - in recurrent remittent multiple sclerosis and clinically isolated syndrome significantly more effective than an oral placebo treatment as assed by new T2 lesions in cerebral magnetic resonance imaging and clinical examination.
This randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of ocrelizumab in comparison with interferon beta-1a (Rebif) in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis. Participants will be randomized to receive either ocrelizumab 600 mg or matching placebo intravenous (IV) as 300 mg infusions on Days 1 and 15 for the first dose and as a single infusion of 600 mg for all subsequent infusions every 24 weeks, with placebo injections matching interferon beta-1a SC three times per week; or interferon beta-1a 44 mcg SC injections three times per week (with placebo infusions matching ocrelizumab infusions every 24 weeks).
