Active clinical trials for "Sclerosis"

The primary objective is to determine whether prolonged-release fampridine (10 mg twice daily) has a clinically meaningful effect on participant-reported walking ability over a 24-week study period. The secondary objectives are: to determine whether prolonged-release fampridine 10 mg taken twice daily (BID) has a clinically meaningful effect on dynamic and static balance, physical impact of multiple sclerosis (MS), and upper extremity function over a 24-week study period; to evaluate criteria for early assessment of response to fampridine that can predict clinically meaningful benefits in walking ability and balance; to assess the safety and tolerability of prolonged-release fampridine 10 mg twice daily over a 24-week treatment period.

Fatigue is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms experienced in Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). There are multiple proposed mechanisms of disorder-related fatigue, however, it is unknown whether PD or MS patients experience compromised blood lactate responses to an acute bout of exercise, subjecting them to exercise-related fatigue. These populations may experience higher energy expenditure at rest due to increased rigidity, however, limited data exists investigating resting energy expenditure in these populations. Researchers hypothesize that PD and MS patients will display higher resting energy expenditure than healthy age-matched controls, and that level of energy expenditure will correlate with amount of rigidity or spasticity. Also, we hypothesize that baseline levels of lactate will not be different between PD/MS and control groups, but post-exercise blood lactate levels will be significantly higher in the PD/MS groups.

The primary aim is to collect data to determine the correct effect size on the primary outcome to aid in the design of a larger study: The primary outcome is to determine if lipoic acid and omega-3 fatty acids can improve cognitive function in people with multiple sclerosis that have cognitive dysfunction.

Primary Objective: To assess the distribution of IARs by severity grade when LEMTRADA is administered to RRMS patients who will be medicated according to specified algorithm designed to manage infusion associated reactions.

Objectives: This parallel RCT investigated the effect of a new nursing intervention (Mobility Enhancing Nursing Intervention - MFP) designed to improve the rehabilitation programs' outcomes and patients' quality of life. Intervention: The IG combined standard care with the 30-day mobility-enhancing-nursing intervention (MFP). MFP placed patients on a mattress on the floor and used constant tactile-kinaesthetic stimulation in everyday tasks to increase spatial orientation, to teach patients to get up safely and to move independently. Primary and secondary outcome measures: Outcomes were defined as functionality (Extended Barthel Index, EBI), quality of life (WHOQoL), and fall-related self-efficacy (FES-I).

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of BG00012 (dimethyl fumarate) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesions in pediatric participants with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The secondary objectives of this study are to characterize the pharmacokinetics of BG00012 in pediatric participants with RRMS and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BG00012 in pediatric participants with RRMS.

The primary objectives of Parts A and B of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of ascending doses of tofersen in adults with ALS and a documented superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mutation. The primary objective of Part C of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of tofersen administered to adults with ALS and a confirmed SOD1 mutation. The secondary objective of Parts A and B of this study is to evaluate the effects of tofersen on levels of total SOD1 protein in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The secondary objectives of Part C are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamic (PD), and biomarker effects of tofersen.

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab compared with placebo in participants with SSc across approximately 120 planned global study sites. The study will consist of a 48-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled period followed by a 48-week open-label treatment period. Participants will be assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to double-blind treatment with active tocilizumab or matching placebo. In the open-label period, eligible participants from either arm may receive active tocilizumab.

A prospective, randomized controlled single-blind trial will test the hypotheses that a 6- week intervention that combines treadmill training (TT) with virtual reality (VR) significantly improves real-life, functional mobility and cognitive abilities, keys to health-related quality of life in patients with MS.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety of BG00012 in subjects who completed Study 109MS202 (NCT02410200). Secondary objectives are as follows: To evaluate the long-term efficacy of BG00012 and to describe the long-term Multiple Sclerosis (MS) outcomes in subjects who completed Study 109MS202 (NCT02410200).
