Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to explore host genetic mutations which may render individual subjects more susceptible (or resistant) to developing Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML). Samples will also be collected to determine Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequence of JC Virus (JCV). Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to explore host genetic mutations which may render individual subjects more susceptible (or resistant) to developing Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML). Samples will also be collected to determine Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequence of JC Virus (JCV). Analysis of the JC Virus (JCV) genome may provide information about viral genotypes that may be associated with higher pathogenicity, and help to identify individuals who may be at higher risk of developing Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) due to chronic infection with a more pathogenic variant of JC Virus (JCV).

Read the detailed description

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) will be analyzed from natalizumab-treated subjects who develop Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML). The genetic analysis of the subjects will directly seek mutations that could identify subjects at risk.

Medical subject headings
Leukoencephalopathy, Progressive Multifocal

    Measured: Up to 3 Months

  2. To analyze DNA sequences of JCV

    Measured: Up to 3 Months

  3. optional substudy: to test alterations in DNA repair pathways

    Measured: Up to 3 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy, run by Biogen at 11 sites in 2 countries.

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 2 inclusion and 0 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 19 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States, Germany. 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: Due to lack of 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?

to examine host genetic variation and possible genetic susceptibility to PML (time frame: Up to 3 Months). 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 19 Jan 2015.
