Filter by:The primary aim of this open-label pilot trial is to estimate the treatment effect of 100 mg of oral minocycline twice daily for 90 days, initiated within 30 days of onset of ON, on functional and structural optic nerve recovery compared to no treatment. The primary outcome measure that will be used to measure optic nerve recovery is retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness. Other objectives: Secondary outcomes are temporal RNFL thickness, macular volume, and visual outcomes.
This study is to describe the quality of life of Korean patients with early relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis during the initial 1 year of treatment with Betaferon with several validated questionnaires.
The long-term objective is to further establish the role of Tysabri in preventing neurological degeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS) and to establish powerful and efficient new markers for neurological degeneration in MS. The study intends to correlate cognition with two instruments and their measurements-MRI and OCT (optical coherence tomography).
This is a randomized, rater blinded trial in patients who interrupt treatment with natalizumab with or without being treated with other immunomodulatory drugs, or continue treatment with natalizumab. The main purpose of this study is to find out the following, when participants stop taking natalizumab for 24 weeks: - when MS symptoms return, and - if other drugs for MS may help control MS symptoms during the natalizumab-interruption period. This study will also explore how quickly the effects of natalizumab return after resuming natalizumab dosing.
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that the incidence of progressive multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) in natalizumab-treated participants who do not have detectable antibodies to John Cunningham virus (JCV) (antibody negative) is lower than in participants who have detectable antibodies to JCV (antibody positive). The secondary objectives of this study are to: Estimate the incidence of PML in natalizumab-treated participants who are anti-JCV antibody negative and anti-JCV antibody positive, based on a meta-analysis of data obtained from this study and other data sources; Define the prevalence of anti-JCV antibody in relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) participants receiving natalizumab within the TYSABRI Outreach: United Commitment to Health (TOUCH) Prescribing Program; Determine changes in anti-JCV antibody status over time.
The primary objective is to define the prevalence of serum anti-JCV antibody in relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) participants receiving Tysabri® (natalizumab) or being considered for such treatment. Secondary objectives are to analytically validate the anti-JCV antibody assay in a plasma matrix and to determine changes in anti-JCV antibody status over time.
This is an open-label study of patients with relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis designed to assess the biochemical, immunological and pharmacokinetic profiles of a large, actively infusing natalizumab patient population. A duration effect for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) risk associated with natalizumab therapy appears to exist. There is minimal data available to understand this effect at the biochemical and cellular level. The purpose of this study is to gather preliminary data on several parameters to guide in more focused research on the duration effect.
To determine a correlation between serum leptin levels, nitric oxide preceding a relapse and change in leptin and nitric oxide levels during exacerbation in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis patients.
The study is designed to assess the efficacy of Glatiramer Acetate (GA) injection 40 mg administered three times a week compared to placebo in subjects with RRMS, as measured by the number of confirmed relapses during the 12 month placebo controlled period. The study has two periods: - Placebo Controlled Period: 12 months of 40 mg administered three times a week by subcutaneous injection or matching placebo. - Open Label Extension Period: All subjects will continue treatment with GA 40 mg administered three times a week, until this dose strength is commercially available for the treatment of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients or until the development of this GA dose regimen is stopped by the Sponsor
Cost-effectiveness study of 2 disease-modifying therapies (natalizumab versus mitoxantrone followed by immunomodulator) in the management of aggressive remitting multiple sclerosis
