Filter by:Noninvasive brain stimulations (NIBS) will be used in MS patients with cognitive impairments to enhance their cognitive aptitudes.
The primary objective of the study is to determine the efficacy of natalizumab (Tysabri, BG00002) in participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) who have failed Gilenya or BRACET (Betaseron, Rebif, Avonex, Copaxone, Extavia, Tecfidera) as measured by the proportion of participants with no evidence of disease activity (NEDA) at Year 1. The secondary objectives in this study population are: Change in total T1 hypointense and total T2 hyperintense lesion volume; Proportion of participants with NEDA at Year 2; Evaluation of the impact of natalizumab on annualized relapse rate (ARR); and Change in Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale-29 (MSIS-29) physical impact score.
Primary Objectives: - To assess the efficacy of vatelizumab compared to placebo as measured by a reduction in new contrast-enhancing lesions (CELs) in relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients. - To evaluate multiple doses of vatelizumab for a dose-response. Secondary Objectives: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of vatelizumab compared to placebo. - To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of vatelizumab.
The primary objective is to directly estimate brain glutathione concentrations in vivo using H-MRS at 7T before and after initiation of Tecfidera in established multiple sclerosis (MS) patients considering switching therapy or being treatment-naive (first line).
Single site, open label, randomized design in patients with relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis. At the Screening Visit, the patient will be given a diary containing the MAGIS scale to be completed once a day for the first two weeks while on Dimethyl Fumarate (DMF), including the titration period. After two weeks or if a patient experiences 3 or more consecutive days of GI symptoms in any category of ≥3.5, the patient will return for a Baseline Visit. The MAGIS diary will be reviewed by the coordinator. Any patient who has reported an average MAGIS score of greater than or equal to 3.5 in at least one of the key categories will be randomized to a standard therapy or treatment arm. Patients who report a MAGIS of less than 3.5 during this period will be terminated from the study at this visit. Patients with an average reported MAGIS of greater than 6.5 at Baseline will be placed in the treatment arm. Patients who are randomized to the treatment arm will be instructed to take 125 mg simethicone and one tablespoon of a high fat food (peanut butter) 10 minutes prior to each DMF dose. If the average MAGIS score is greater than 3.5 in the diarrhea category they will also be instructed to take 2 mg loperamide three times daily. Patients randomized to the standard therapy arm will be instructed to follow the normal dosing regimen for DMF with a food bolus of their choice prior to dosing. If severe symptoms (MAGIS >6.5) are noted at any time post randomization in any MAGIS category, crossover to the treatment arm will be allowed. Both groups will be asked to rate their GI symptoms over the past 24 hours using the MAGIS scale once daily. Both treatment arms will be observed for 6 weeks. MAGIS will be recorded once daily. Patients will return to the clinic at Week 3 and Week 6/End of Treatment for diary and compliance review. After Week 6, patients will be instructed to return to a standard therapy. MAGIS will be recorded for one more week and collected at Week 7/End of Study.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity of natalizumab (BG00002) 300 mg subcutaneous (SC) administered to participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety of natalizumab SC injections and to evaluate the efficacy of natalizumab SC injections on relapses and on new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions.
This is a Phase IV, prospective, open-label, multi-center trial to assess the treatment satisfaction in patients with relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) who are currently being treated with, but are considering discontinuing treatment with Tecfidera™.
Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have an increased risk of developing a major depression. The investigators observed a protective effect of high vitamin D levels on the risk of depression in MS. This might be driven by the effect of vitamin D on the stress-axis. Therefore, the main goal of the present study is to assess whether high dose vitamin D supplementation results in a suppression of the stress-axis, as measured by decreased levels of cortisol.
In this first in human study the aim is to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of 2B3-201 in a randomized, first in human, double-blind, placebo- and active comparator- controlled 3-way crossover study in 18 healthy male subjects (part 1). Furthermore, the findings obtained from part 1 will be extended and confirmed in a subsequent parallel open label study in 18 healthy male and 12 MS patients and an open label study with methylprednisolone as comparator in 12 female volunteers (part 2).
PF-06342674 (RN168), being developed for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), is an antibody that binds to and inhibits the human interleukin-7 receptor, a component potentially involved in MS. PF-06342674 (RN168) is expected to play a role in slowing down the progression of the disease.
