E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The study will enroll patients who have not previously received
treatment to suppress Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
The main objective of this study is to establish the efficacy of
alemtuzumab as a treatment for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
(MS) in comparison with Rebif® (interferon beta-1a). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objective of the CAMMS323 trial is to establish the safety of
alemtuzumab as a treatment for relapsing-remitting MS, in comparison
with Rebif® (interferon beta-1a). |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Four sub-studies are included in this protocol (same protocol version number and date) which will be conducted at selected centres on a subpopulation of patients:
- Laboratory substudy. Additional testing for the following parameters: expanded hematology, expanded thyroid function monitoring, expanded lymphocyte phenotyping, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC)
- Semen substudy. Semen analysis of sperm count and motility. If agglutination is present, subsequent testing for anti-sperm antibodies.
- Expanded imaging substudy. Additional MTR (to measure abnormalities in normal-appearing white matter, which may be indicative of demyelination assciated with the effects of MS) and/or MRS (thought to be a marker for axonal preservation and thus a useful counterpoint to MTR measurement of demyelination) and/or DWI (measuring diffusion of water in tissues, which can be adapted to reveal the state of white matter including demyelinating MS lesions)
- Pharmacokinetic substudy. PK samples drawn in two sub-cohorts (dense or sparse collection) |
|
