Filter by:Primary objective is to evaluate the immune response to vaccination with tetanus diphtheria toxoids vaccine (Td) in participants with relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) who have been treated with Tecfidera (BG00012) versus those treated with non pegylated interferon (IFN). Secondary objective is to evaluate the immune response to vaccination with 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23) [a mostly T cell-independent humoral response] and meningococcal polysaccharide diphtheria conjugate vaccine, quadrivalent (MCV4) [T cell-dependent neoantigen response].
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate whether 150 mg enteric-coated aspirin (acetyl salicylic acid [ASA]) taken twice a day (BID) with DMF (dimethyl fumarate) administration or 75 mg enteric-coated ASA taken once daily in the morning (QAM) with DMF administration reduces the incidence and/or severity of flushing events in subjects with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) compared with ASA-placebo administered with DMF in the clinical practice setting. Secondary objectives of this study are: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of DMF administered with and without enteric-coated ASA in the clinical practice setting; To evaluate the impact of DMF administration on quality of life as measured by the Short Form 36 (SF-36®) and European Quality of Life - 5 Dimensions - 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaires.
Study Purpose: The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if extended-release quetiapine in a dose of 300 mg daily is tolerable to people with relapsing remitting and progressive MS. The investigators will also determine if the investigators can increase the dose up to 300 mg daily within 3 days in people with relapsing remitting MS and within 2 weeks in people with progressive MS. The investigators will determine if at least two thirds of study participants tolerate the drug well enough to continue it for 4 weeks. Tolerance will be determined separately for people with relapsing remitting and progressive MS. People with progressive MS may be less tolerant of side effects because of greater underlying brain injury from MS. Alternatively, people with progressive MS may gain more benefit from the improved sleep that usually occurs with use of quetiapine or they may be more willing to tolerate some side effects. This clinical trial will determine the maximally tolerated dose for future trials of this drug. The number of participants in this study will depend on the tolerability at each dose tested. A maximum of 18 people with relapsing remitting MS and 18 people with primary or secondary progressive MS will be included. Study Design: The cohort expansion design (3+3) is used to determine toxicity-based dosing. This design is used in oncology phase I trials as it is guided by patient safety and minimizes the number of participants exposed to toxicity (Ivy et al. 2010). Maximum toxicity is defined as 33% or less. In this model, three patients will comprise the initial cohort. In the absence of DLT treatment may be escalated to the next higher dose in the next group of three patients. However, if one of three patients reaches DLT the cohort is expanded to six patients to verify that the toxicity rate has not exceeded or reached 33%. When the toxicity rate exceeds or reaches 33% in a cohort, this dose is deemed the maximum administered dose and a lower dose will be used in the next group of three patients. Patients with RRMS and progressive MS will be evaluated in separate groups using different dose schedules.
The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with Mirabegron will improve urinary urgency control beyond that achieved with pelvic floor exercises alone
Fatigue is a common symptom in patients with multiple sclerosis, however, its nature is not completely understood. Fatigue overlaps often with other symptoms such as somnolence, depression and cognitive disorders, from which it is not always readily distinguished. The evaluation of fatigue and the three most frequently associated symptoms using a multidimensional approach might allow to understand, which methodology is the best indicated to estimate the prevalence of fatigue with greatest accuracy, leading to a better differentiation of the symptoms in the diagnostic setting.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether minimizing interference improves memory in multiple sclerosis.
To evaluate treatment tolerability, adherence and quality of life (QoL) over 1 year in MS (Multiple Sclerosis) participants who have been switched - due to persistent tolerability issues, particularly injection problems - from a subcutaneous injectable disease-modifying treatment (DMT) given several times a week (Rebif, Betaferon or Copaxone) to once weekly Avonex 30 μg given intra-muscularly. Avonex will be applied by the injection device Avonex Pen.
The purpose of this registry is to monitor safety outcomes of patients who are receiving Sativex® for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) spasticity and for off-label indications in the United Kingdom (UK), Germany and Sweden.
Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) is a music therapy technique that provides rhythmic auditory cues (like a beat) to help improve patients' movements, especially when walking. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect on walking performance of a home based walking program (HBWP) with Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS), to that of a HBWP without RAS, or to RAS without walking exercise. A second part of this study will assess the effects of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) on brain activity in patients with Multiple Sclerosis while performing mental imagery of walking.
This is an open-label, multi-center, 12-week, randomized, controlled, parallel group, Phase 4 study to assess whether the morning administration of interferon beta 1a (Rebif®) leads to a lower severity of flu-like symptoms (FLS) as compared to the evening administration, in subjects with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS).
