E.1.2 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.2 | Version | 9.1 |
E.1.2 | Level | LLT |
E.1.2 | Classification code | 10063399 |
E.1.2 | Term | Relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis |
|
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is to assess the ability of SM3 to tolerise patients with multiple sclerosis to the therapeutic antibody alemtuzumab. The incidence of anti-alemtuzumab antibodies following two doses of alemtuzumab alone will be compared with that achieved by two doses of alemtuzumab preceded by SM3 |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial | |
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female patients, 18 to 50 years of age (inclusive) • Diagnosis of MS using McDonald’s criteria29, including diagnostic MRI • Onset of first MS symptoms within 6 years prior to screening • EDSS 30 score 0.0 to 6.0 (inclusive) at the screening visit • At least 3 clinical episodes of MS in the 2 years prior to study entry
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Detectable anti-Campath-1H antibodies • Personal history of clinically significant autoimmune disease (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes, lupus, severe asthma) • History of thyroid carcinoma (previous thyroid adenoma is acceptable and is not to be considered an exclusion criterion) • History of malignancy (except for basal cell skin carcinoma in which situation the patient is eligible only if disease-free for 5 years) • History of anaphylaxis following exposure to humanized monoclonal antibodies • Inability to undergo MRI with gadolinium administration (for the MRI sub-cohort) • Female patients with childbearing potential and a positive serum pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior to randomization. (NB: Pregnancy testing will be performed on each occasion.) • Male and female patients who do not agree to use effective contraceptive method(s) during the study • Major systemic disease or other illness that would, in the opinion of the investigator, compromise patient safety or interfere with the interpretation of study results • Abnormal CD4 count or significantly abnormal thyroid function • Intolerance of pulsed corticosteroids, especially a history of steroid psychosis
