Filter by:This study is designed to assess the effects of a therapeutic dose of arbaclofen extended release (ER) tablets compared with placebo on human sperm concentration, motility, and morphology in male subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS).
This is a prospective study that will explore the mechanisms of efficacy of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) treatment in multiple sclerosis (MS). Investigators will enroll relapsing MS patients who are beginning therapy with DMF into a one-year longitudinal study in which blood and spinal fluid analyses, imaging and clinical studies will be performed to identify and measure changes associated with DMF therapy.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the early efficacy of treatment with BG00012 (dimethyl fumarate) 240 mg twice daily (BID) in the brain of newly diagnosed and naive-to-treatment patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The Secondary objectives are to establish the time course of the beneficial effect of BG00012 240 mg BID over 24 weeks and to evaluate the safety of BG00012.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the efficacy of oral BG00012 as compared with placebo in pediatric subjects with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BG00012 and to compare the effect of BG00012 with placebo on additional clinical and radiological measures of disease activity.
To compare two commonly used MS medications, IFN β-1a subcutaneous three times per week (Rebif) and oral twice daily dimethyl fumarate (Tecfidera), on mean number of new or enlarging T2 lesions at 6 months in adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis who are prescribed these medications and receive a 6 month MRI scan as standard of care.
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.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate, in participants with RMS, safety and tolerability (as defined by the frequency of adverse events [AEs] of flu-like symptoms [FLS; chills, pyrexia, myalgia, and asthenia], injection site reactions [ISRs], and injection site reaction pain [ISR-P]) over 6 months of treatment (the active comparator period) with BIIB017 125 μg subcutaneously (SC) every 2 weeks versus standard-of-care SC interferon-beta (IFN-β) therapy. Secondary objectives of this study are to assess the following measures during the first (6-month) period of the study in participants treated with BIIB017 versus standard-of-care SC IFN-β therapy: patient-reported treatment satisfaction using the following patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs): Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9), Adapted MS Treatment Concerns Questionnaire (MSTCQ), Adapted MSTCQ Side Effects Score, Pain using a visual analog scale (VAS) diary and the McGill Pain Questionnaire Short Form (SF-MPQ), the treatments' impact on RMS using the following PROMs: Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale (MSIS-29), Modified Fatigue Impact Scale-5 Item (MFIS-5), EuroQol Group 5-Dimension 3-Level Version (EQ-5D-3L), Health-Related Productivity Questionnaire (HRPQ), Beck Depression Inventory, second edition (BDI-II), participant adherence to study treatment, clinical status as measured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) and relapse activity, safety and tolerability of study treatment after a change in standard-of-care SC IFN-β therapy and the immunogenicity profiles of participants changing from standard-of-care SC IFN-β to BIIB017.
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether dimethyl fumarate (DMF) taken over 12 months is effective in reducing Multiple Sclerosis (MS)-related fatigue, as measured by mean changes in the Fatigue Scale for Motor and Cognitive Functions (FSMC), in participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The secondary objectives of this study are: To investigate changes from Baseline in FSMC and fatigue severity (Fatigue Severity Scale [FSS]) at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months in participants receiving DMF; To assess the impact of DMF on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), including work productivity (Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-Multiple Sclerosis questionnaire [WPAI-MS]), health-related quality of life (Short Form Health Survey [SF-12]), depression (Beck Depression Inventory-Fast Screen [BDI-FS]), and sleepiness (Epworth Sleepiness Scale [ESS]) at 6 and 12 months in participants receiving DMF; To examine whether an association exists between fatigue and baseline demographics (e.g., age and sex) and disease characteristics (e.g., disease duration, baseline disease activity, treatment history, expanded disability status scale [EDSS] score, and PROs); To assess any changes in fatigue-related medication use.
The hypothesis is that 95% pure EGCG can protect brain cells in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. To test this hypothesis we are going to compare the changes in n-Acetyl-Aspartate (a chemical that reflects the number of neurons and their metabolism) over one six between people with MS treated with EGCG at a dose of 400mg twice a day and people with MS treated with a matching sugar pill.
The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two doses of laquinimod compared to Avonex®
