Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Phase II Baseline Versus Treatment Study to Determine the Efficacy of Raltegravir (Isentress) in Preventing Progression of Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis as Determined by Gadolinium-enhanced MRI
The purpose of this study is to determine whether raltegravir is effective in preventing progression of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis as determined by gadolinium- enhanced MRI.
There is accumulating research evidence that Human Endogenous Retrovirus (HERV) and herpes
viruses (in particular Epstein-Barr Virus) are involved in the pathogenesis of multiple
sclerosis. People with active MS have higher levels of HERVs than people either without MS
or who have other neurological conditions. It has been shown that HERVs may produce
neurotoxic proteins/antigens associated with MS activity and disease progression. This is
the first clinical trial investigating the hypothesis that the antiretroviral drug
raltegravir may suppress HERV activity and ameliorate progression of relapsing remitting MS.
Raltegravir is an integrase inhibitor which blocks retroviral replication. A recent
experimental study suggests that raltegravir may also be active against herpes viruses.
Eligible participants (see Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria) will be observed for 3 months
having monthly brain Gadolinium enhanced MRIs and blood/urine/saliva sampling (baseline).
Then they will be treated with raltegravir (one 400mg pill taken twice a day) for 3 months.
During treatment period participants will continue to have monthly MRIs and
blood/saliva/urine sampling. Participants will have monthly clinical and neurological
examinations and they will complete questionnaires assessing response to treatment.
Participants will have screening and study visits at The Royal London Hospital, Whitechapel.
Monthly MRIs will be performed at the Institute of Neurology at Queens Square, London.
