Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43873   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7293   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.1.1Medical condition(s) being investigated
    Multiple Sclerosis
    E.1.1.1Medical condition in easily understood language
    Multiple sclerosis
    E.1.1.2Therapeutic area Diseases [C] - Immune System Diseases [C20]
    MedDRA Classification
    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease No
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    There are two co-primary objectives.

    The first is to assess the safety of intravenous therapy with autologous (derived from the individuals themselves) MSCs in MS patients.

    The second is to evaluate the activity of autologous MSCs in MS patients, quantified by the reduction in the number of new contrast-enhancing lesions on MRI scans over 24 weeks, the latter suggesting new inflammation.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    The secondary objectives of the study are to gather preliminary information about the efficacy of the experimental treatment in terms of combined MRI activity, MRI measures of remyelination (i.e. repair), clinical activity (incidence of relapses and disability progression in the MS patients), evaluating results of the Mantoux skin test (this is being used as a way of assessing the effect of the MSCs within the patient), and on immunological markers to be measured in blood and spinal fluid samples.
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    Patients with clinically and radiologically active multiple sclerosis as defined by:

    1. Diagnosis of MS:

    a. Relapsing remitting MS (RRMS): ≥1 moderate-severe relapse and ≥1 GEL in past 18 months or ≥1 moderate-severe relapse and ≥1 new T2 lesion in past 18 months.

    b. Secondary progressive MS (SPMS) with an increase of ≥1 EDSS point (if baseline EDSS ≤5) or 0.5 EDSS point (if baseline EDSS ≥5.5), in the previous 18 months and ≥1 GEL in past 18 months or ≥1 moderate-severe relapse and ≥1 new T2 lesion in past 18 months.

    c. Primary progressive MS (PPMS) patients with positive oligoclonal bands
    (OCBs) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and an increase of ≥1 EDSS point (if baseline EDSS is ≤5.0) or 0.5 EDSS point (if baseline EDSS is ≥5.5), or quantifiable, objective evidence of equivalent progression in the previous 18 months and ≥1 GEL in past 18 months or ≥1 new T2 lesion in past 18 months.

    2. Age 18 to 50 years.

    3. Disease duration 2 to 10 years from diagnosis (inclusive).

    4. EDSS 3.0 to 6.5 at screening evaluation.

    5. ≥1 GEL on MRI within 3 months prior to harvesting.

    6. Adequate culture of a subject’s MSCs and their release for clinical use.
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    1. RRMS without at least one severe relapse in the previous 18 months or without at least one GEL or one new T2 in the previous 18 months.
    2. SPMS without relapses and without new lesions (GEL or T2 positive) at MRI in the last 18 months.
    3. PPMS without positive CSF OCBs or without a GEL or new T2 lesion in the previous 18 months.
    4. No gadolinium enhancing lesion(s) in the 3 months prior to bone marrow harvesting.
    5. A previously ineligible patient who failed to meet the MRI requirements of the inclusion criteria will not be reviewed again even if further imaging, revealing ≥1 GEL, becomes available.
    6. Failure of BM sample to generate MSCs suitable for clinical use within a specified time frame (4 weeks).
    7. Treatment with any immunosuppressive therapy, including natalizumab and fingolimod, within the last 3 months.
    8. Treatment with interferon-beta or glatiramer acetate within the last 1 month.
    9. Treatment with alemtuzumab (campath-1H) within the last 2 years.
    10. Prior treatment with total lymphoid irradiation and autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
    11. Participation in clinical trials of any experimental drugs in the 6 months before study entry.
    12. Corticosteroid treatment in the last 30 days.
    13. Presence of any active or chronic infection.
    14. Previous history of a malignancy other than basal cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ that has been in remission for more than one year.
    15. Severely limited life expectancy by any other co-morbid illness.
    16. Abnormal blood counts, a history of myelodysplasia or other cytopenia.
    17. Known pregnancy, positive urine pregnancy test at screening or risk or pregnancy (this includes patients who are unwilling to practice active contraception during the duration of the study).
    18. Contraindication to MRI including but not limited to intracranial aneurysm clips (except Sugita), history of intra-orbital metal fragments that have not been removed by an MD (as confirmed by orbital X-Ray), pacemaker and non-MR compatible devices (e.g. heart valves, inner ear implants), history of claustrophobia or the inability of the subject to lie still on their back for a period of 1.5 hours in the MRI scanner.
    19. An estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)< 60 mL/min/1.73m2 or history or presence of renal impairment (e.g. serum creatinine clearance less than 30ml/min).
    20. Inability to give written informed consent/comply with study procedures.
    21. Any significant organ dysfunction or co-morbidity that the Investigators consider would put the subject at unacceptable risk by participating in the study or that would interfere with the functional assessments.
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    There are two co-primary objectives:

    The first is to assess the safety of intravenous autologous MSCs in MS patients - hence the number, time-frame of occurrence and severity of adverse events in the MSC treatment group will be compared to the placebo group.

    The second is to evaluate the efficacy of autologous MSCs in MS patients, quantified by the reduction in the number of new contrast-enhancing lesions (GEL) on MRI scans over 24 weeks and the total number of GEL counted over months 1, 3 and 6 will be compared between treatment groups.
    E.5.1.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Week 0, 4, 12, 24, 28, 36 and 48 for MRI
    Safety will be evaluated at every visit throughout the 48 week study
    E.5.2Secondary end point(s)
    Secondary endpoints:
    • volume of GEL identified over months 1, 3 and 6 will be compared between treatment groups.
    • number of GEL counted over months 7, 9 and 12 (cross-over re-treatment) compared between treatment periods (placebo vs. active treatment) for each patient.
    • combined unique MRI activity (number of new or enlarging T2, or enhancing or re-enhancing lesions).
    • number of relapses in MSC treatment group vs. placebo group in the first 6 months and after cross-over re-treatment in the two groups (see below for the definition of a relapse).
    • time to sustained progression of disability (RRMS group) (see below for definition of sustained EDSS progression) and proportion of progression-free patients.
    • proportion of disease-free patients (i.e. patients without relapses) and progression of MRI activity in the two groups.
    • changes in the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite (MSFC) score in MSC treatment group compared to the placebo group.
    • effect of MSCs on the peripheral immune responses.
    • effect of MSCs on delayed type hypersensitivity (Type 1V hypersensitivity) reaction as measured by the Mantoux test
    E.5.2.1Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point
    Weeks 0, 4, 12, 24, 28, 36 and 48.
    The Mantoux test will be performed at weeks -8, 0 and 24 weeks and evaluated 48-72 hours thereafter.
