Safety and Neuroprotective Effects of Polyphenon E in MS; Phase II — POEMS  

Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Phase 2 Randomized Placebo Controlled Trial of Polyphenon E in MS

Clinical Trial Summary

The hypothesis is that Polyphenon E 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 year between people with MS treated with Polyphenon E at a dose of 400mg twice a day and people with MS treated with a matching sugar pill.

Clinical Trial Description

This will be a double blind placebo controlled trial of Polyphenon E as a treatment for MS.

The primary outcome will be the changes in NAA levels over one year. Secondary outcomes will be changes in brain atrophy over one year. As an exploratory outcome we will correlate changes in NAA levels with free Plasma levels of EGCG 8 hours after the morning dose.

Exploratory outcomes include disability progression by EDSS, MS functional composite components and a cognitive test battery. ;

Study Design

Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
