Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Approximately 383 patients participated in CHAMPS, the original AVONEX® placebo trial, will be approached for study participation. The patient population will be divided into two cohorts. Cohort 1: Patients that participated in CHAMPS and CHAMPIONS 10 will be approached for study participation at approximately twenty-four CHAMPIONS Continuation investigative sites. Patients were diagnosed upon entry into CHAMPS with CIS demyelinating event with MRI lesions consistent with MS. Patients are eligible regardless of whether they have converted to Clinically Definite Multiple Sclerosis (CDMS) or not. Cohort 1 patients will have annual EDSS, self-report EDSS, medication review and relapse recalculation. SF-36 and SDMT assessments will be performed at years 1 and 5 during routine office visits. A MRI will be performed each patient's 15 year anniversary date. See Schedule of Assessments, section 12. Cohort 2: Patients that participated in CHAMPS will be located and approached for s

Who may be able to join

  • Patients are eligible to be screened for this study if all of the following criteria are met:
  • All patients must have been originally enrolled in CHAMPS, regardless of randomization arm. Only Cohort 1 patients must have been enrolled in CHAMPIONS 10.
  • Willing and able to provide informed consent (Cohort 1), waiver of informed consent (Cohort 2), or reported patient death through public database search.
  • Ability to read and write English (patient reported assessment tools are in English only).

Who cannot join

  • Candidates will be excluded from study screening if any of the following exclusion criteria exist:
  • Patients not participating in the original CHAMPS study.
  • Alternative diagnosis to MS discovered.
  • Patient unwilling or unable to provide informed consent (Cohort 1) or waiver of informed consent (Cohort 2), as applicable.
  • Any other reasons that, in the opinion of the Investigator (Cohort 1) or Patient Coordination Center (Cohort 2), the patient is determined to be unsuitable for enrollment into this study.

About this study

Official title: Phase IV, Multi-center, Non-treatment, Observational, Registry Study to Determine Long Term Effects of AVONEX® Therapy on EDSS, MRI, QoL, and Cognition.

Phase IV, multi-center, non-treatment, observational, registry study to determine long term effects of AVONEX® therapy on EDSS, MRI, QoL, and cognition.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the impact of long term AVONEX® treatment on physical status, measured by expanded disability scale score (EDSS), of patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) after their first clinical event (clinically isolated syndrome) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) consistent with MS.

Secondary objectives are to determine the impact of long term therapy with AVONEX® on the following:

  1. MRI parameters- new or enlarging T2 lesions, T2 lesion volume, T1 lesion volume, brain parenchymal fraction (BPF) b) Quality of Life (QoL): Heath Status Questionnaire (SF-36) c) Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT)
  2. To determine the long term impact of therapy on the following in patients treated at the onset of clinically isolated event (CIS)
  3. EDSS
  4. MRI parameters
  5. SF-36
  6. SDMT
  7. To determine early clinical and MRI predictors of disease progression. Approximately 383 patients participated in CHAMPS, the original AVONEX® placebo trial, will be approached for study participation. The patient population will be divided into two cohorts. Cohort 1: Patients that participated in CHAMPS and CHAMPIONS 10 will be approached for study participation at approximately twenty-four CHAMPIONS Continuation investigative sites. Cohort 2: Patients that participated in CHAMPS will be located and approached for study participation. Patient that participated in CHAMPIONS 10 will not be excluded from Cohort 2. Efforts will be made to potentially locate patients through either the original CHAMPS investigative sites, through the Biogen Idec patient services database, and/or a third party (i.e., patient location service vendor) or some combination of the three. . For both cohorts, public databases may be utilized for patient reported death.

Cohort 1Patients were diagnosed upon entry into CHAMPS with CIS demyelinating event with MRI lesions consistent with MS. Patients are eligible regardless of whether they have converted to Clinically Definite Multiple Sclerosis (CDMS) or not. Cohort 1 patients will have annual EDSS, self-report EDSS, medication review and relapse recalculation. SF-36 and SDMT assessments will be performed at years 1 and 5 during routine office visits. A MRI will be performed each patient's 15 year anniversary date.
Cohort 2Patients were diagnosed upon entry into CHAMPS with CIS demyelinating event with MRI lesions consistent with MS. Patients are eligible regardless of whether they have converted to Clinically Definite Multiple Sclerosis (CDMS) or not. Patients will be waiving written informed consent and asked to provide concomitant medication, self-reported EDSS, and SF-36 only.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Sclerosis, run by Biogen at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: low enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

EDSS (time frame: yearly). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2012.
