This is a first time in human study designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and PD of GSK3888130B over a range of dose levels in healthy participants.
Up to 70% of persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) experience cognitive impairment, which can have a significant impact on several aspects of their daily lives. One cognitive domain that has been shown to impact daily functioning, but is understudied in MS, is prospective memory (PM). While there have been successful PM interventions in other clinical populations, to date there has not been a specific PM intervention for PwMS that has been tested in a clinical trial. The study will be a double-masked randomized feasibility trial, with 18 participants randomized to a PM intervention and 18 participants randomized to an active control (psychoeducation). Participants will meet with an interventionist twice a week for four weeks. Feasibility will be assessed via 1) recruitment, enrollment, and retention; 2) adherence to the treatment; 3) treatment credibility and expectancy; and 4) treatment satisfaction. A preliminary effect size (Cohen's d) will be computed for the group difference using participants' performance on the Memory for Intentions Test, which will be given at baseline (week 1) and post-treatment (week 6). Participants will also complete a battery of neuropsychological measures as part of their baseline and post-treatment assessments.
Randomized Double-Blind Efficacy and safety study of Autologous HB-adMSCs versus placebo for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. This study will be for 24 subjects with 6 infusions over a 52 week period. Study participants will continue their established concomitant medications during participation in this investigation.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease with local inflammation, gliosis and demyelination in the central nervous system (CNS). It is characterized by demyelinating plaques in the brain and spinal cord. Many different symptoms can be seen in the CNS, depending on the affected areas. One of the most common symptoms in these patients is pain. Approximately 50% of patients complain of pain at some point in their lives, and pain is one of the initial symptoms in 20%. Pain may originate from the musculoskeletal system; It may also develop due to inflammation and upper motor neuron damage and may have a neuropathic character . In conclusion, pain in MS negatively affects the physical and emotional functions and quality of life of patients. In addition to pharmacological treatments, non-pharmacological interventions such as electrotherapy and exercise are present among the available treatments for pain in MS patients.
The purpose of the study is to explore association patterns between digital outcome assessments from Konectom and MRI measures of brain tissue damage.
Title Prospective, open label, single arm, non-randomized, non-comparative feasibility study of Rex robot assisted rehabilitation exercise to enhance balance, mobility and upper limb function in people with Multiple Sclerosis "RAPPER III - MS Objective The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the REX Robot when used for rehabilitation with people who have moderate to severe mobility restrictions due to MS. A secondary objective of the study is to explore the acceptability of the device to people with MS and its impact on impairments and functions commonly affected by MS. Study Sponsor Rex Bionics, Plc. Study Device REX Robotic powered exercise system Primary Endpoint • Completion of a transfer, stand, balance and walk rehabilitation session. - Unexpected Serious Adverse Events Secondary Endpoints - Completion of a transfer, stand, balance and walk rehabilitation program over Six-weeks - The Number of approached, screened, and eligible potential participants.

The study series consists of three studies with the aim to assess the incidence, prevalence, risk factors, comorbidities and management of patients with alopecia areata in Czech Republic based on the patients and registry of a dermatology clinic of a metropolitan hospital.
The objective of the study is to measure the effect of a spinal mobilisation intervention on para-spinal muscle tissue quality, functional balance measures, pain and fatigue in people with multiple sclerosis. The mobilisation intervention group will be compared to a general massage group to analyse the difference between the specificities of the intervention compared to general manual touch. Participants will be randomly allocated to a group condition for a between-subject, repeated measures study. The study hypothesises a decrease in lumbar stiffness, body sway, pain and fatigue post the intervention compared to the general massage group.
Numerous studies have shown the diagnostic interest of cerebrospinal fluid kappa free light chains and kappa index in multiple sclerosis. However, large cohort studies are lacking and little is known about the correlation between kappa and lambda indexes and multiple sclerosis evidence disease activity. Therefore, this study plan to validate the kappa and lambda free light chains and indexes as diagnostic biomarker in multiple sclerosis and to correlate the concentration of kappa and lambda free light chains with clinical and radiological activity in a large cohort of patients.
