Filter by:The study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of nasale administration of Dexamethasone in relapsing MS patients
This study was an extension study of NCT00537082. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of long-term administration of 0.5 mg or 1.25 mg of fingolimod (FTY720) to relapsing multiple sclerosis.
Patient with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis taking avonex are included in this double blind randomized control trial. Simvastatin is compared to placebo. end points of edss , total attack, new enhancing lesion and newt2 lesion in mri is evaluated as end point.
The aim of the trial is to demonstrate that 100 mg of oral minocycline twice daily reduces the conversion of CIS to McDonald Criteria MS (McDMS) by an absolute 25% as compared to placebo, over a 6 month follow-up period (primary outcome). A key secondary outcome is to confirm that this early treatment benefit is maintained at two years.
The primary objective is to assess the effect of treatment with glatiramer acetate (GA) compared to placebo on the time to conversion to CDMS, as determined by Poser criteria (the occurrence of the second clinical attack) during the double-blind period. The secondary objective is to assess, within the time frame of the up to 3-year double-blind, placebo-controlled study period, the effect of GA on clinical and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) parameters. The long-term objectives of the study (exploratory in nature) are to assess, within the time frame of 5 years, the neuroprotective effect of early versus delayed treatment with GA as reflected by clinical and MRI parameters measuring the accumulated irreversible brain tissue damage. A pre-planned interim analysis was performed on all efficacy and safety data accumulated in the database up to October 14, 2007, i.e. when 81% of exposure to treatment in the double-blind, placebo-controlled period had been collected. Upon review of the interim analysis results, the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) recommended that the double-blind portion of the study be stopped and that subjects be switched to the 2-year Open-label period, during which time they would have the option of receiving GA therapy. The sponsor (Teva) adopted the DMC recommendations and took the necessary action towards its implementation.
Treatments teaching people how to manage pain have been used to treat chronic pain in the general population. The purpose of this study is to see if these treatments delivered over the telephone can benefit persons with multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury or an acquired amputation. Specifically, we want to determine if these treatments can help reduce the negative consequences that pain often causes in terms of a person's mood, daily activities, and enjoyment of life. We are also interested in finding out if these treatments decrease a person's pain.
This extension study of was designed to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of fingolimod (FTY720) in patients with multiple sclerosis. The Extension study was an extension to the 24-month Core study (CFTY720D2301/NCT00289978).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability and activity of Fampridine-SR in subjects with multiple sclerosis who have previously participated in either an Acorda Therapeutics or an Elan Corporation sponsored protocol. Subjects are eligible regardless of whether they received active drug or placebo during their participation in the previous study.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and activity of Fampridine-SR when administered for up to 36 additional months in patients who previously participated in the MS-F204 study or until it becomes commercially available, whichever comes first.
