Active clinical trials for "Sclerosis"

Objective: Evaluate the effects of Progressive Muscle Relaxation on sleep quality and on stress and depression levels of individuals with multiple sclerosis.

This is a phase 1 study evaluating the safety and maximum tolerated dose of Liothyronine (T3) in subjects with multiple sclerosis

To compare the efficacy and safety of ofatumumab administered subcutaneously (sc) every 4 weeks versus teriflunomide administered orally once daily in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis

To compare the efficacy and safety of ofatumumab administered subcutaneously (sc) every 4 weeks versus teriflunomide administered orally once daily in patients with relapsing multiple sclerosis

The purpose of this research study is to find out whether the drug mexiletine will be effective in lowering motor neuron electrical activity in the brains and nerves in the arms of people with ALS. The investigators will also determine if there are any signs that the drug may slow down the progression of ALS and reduce muscle cramps and muscle twitching. This will be determined through transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and threshold tracking nerve conduction studies (TTNCS). In this trial, the participants will be taking either 300mg/day of mexiletine, 600mg/day of mexiletine, or placebo (non-active study drug).

The humanised IgG4 monoclonal antibody GNbAC1 targets the envelope protein (Env) of the human endogenous multiple sclerosis-associated retrovirus (HERV-W MSRV), which may play a critical role in multiple sclerosis (MS). This study evaluates the effect on MRI lesions parameters, the safety and pharmacokinetics of GNbAC1 in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis.

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.

MAIN STUDY: The purpose of this study is to determine if teriflunomide will be safe and effective to prevent relapses in patients with relapsing types of MS when switching from natalizumab to teriflunomide in patients at risk for PML. This is a two center interventional study of patients who have had 12 or more continuous infusions of natalizumab , who are anti-JCV-ab positive, and who had been free of clinical relapses during prior 12 months of natalizumab therapy who will be switching to teriflunomide. SUB-STUDY: To study the number of patients experiencing a reduction in the anti-JCV antibody Index value in patients who had received at least one dose of teriflunomide during participation in the SWITCH protocol (main study).

Primary Objective: To evaluate long-term safety of alemtuzumab. Secondary Objectives: To evaluate long term efficacy of alemtuzumab. To evaluate the safety profile of participants who received other Disease Modifying Treatment (DMT) following alemtuzumab treatment. To evaluate participant-reported Quality of Life (QoL) outcomes and health resource utilization of participant who received alemtuzumab. To evaluate as needed re-treatment with alemtuzumab and other DMTs.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Gilenya, also known as fingolimod, is safe and tolerable in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
