Trial summary

This study intends to explore evolution of MSRV expression by analyzing the levels of MSRV transcripts in blood, as well as the levels of the MSRV-Env protein in serum of MS patients. The study will be conducted over one year in four cohorts of patients with different forms of MS (remitting-relapsing MS i.e. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A One Year Longitudinal Therapeutically Non-Interventional Study of MSRV-Env Burden in Multiple Sclerosis Patients (RRMS - SPMS - PPMS - CIS) as Assessed by PCR and ELISA in Blood

This study intends to explore evolution of MSRV expression by analyzing the levels of MSRV transcripts in blood, as well as the levels of the MSRV-Env protein in serum of MS patients. The study will be conducted over one year in four cohorts of patients with different forms of MS (remitting-relapsing MS i.e. RRMS, primary-progressive MS i.e. PPMS and secondary-progressive MS i.e. SPMS) and in clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) patients who have suffered a single clinical event but do not comply with diagnosis criteria for definite MS. The MSRV RNA and MSRV-Env protein levels will be correlated with the clinical evolution of patients and with the reverse transcriptase activity, inflammatory markers assessed by cytokines levels. A control group of healthy subjects will be included (the study, GN-E-003, is performed in parallel and is part of another dedicated protocol).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Monitor the levels of MSRV-Env expression in MS patients (according to McDonald criteria) of different diagnostic subgroups (RRMS, SPMS, PPMS, CIS)

    Monitor the levels of MSRV-Env expression in MS patients (according to McDonald criteria) of different diagnostic subgroups (RRMS, SPMS, PPMS, CIS) over time using 3 approaches:

    • MSRV transcripts in PBMC;
    • MSRV transcripts in plasma;
    • MSRV-Env protein in serum.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Associate the levels of MSRV-Env protein and transcripts

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Associate the levels of MSRV-Env as assessed with the 3 approaches with MS relapses/exacerbations and/or clinical evolution (EDSS score) and /or treatment

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Associate the levels of MSRV-Env as assessed with the 3 approaches with levels of inflammatory markers and reverse transcriptase activity

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Compare levels of MSRV-Env of MS patients to those obtained in a parallel study in Healthy Controls

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Relapsing-Remitting MS, run by GeNeuro Innovation SAS at 4 sites in 3 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 3 inclusion and 8 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in France, Spain, Switzerland. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Monitor the levels of MSRV-Env expression in MS patients (according to McDonald criteria) of different diagnostic subgroups (RRMS, SPMS, PPMS, CIS) (time frame: 1 year). 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 20 Oct 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
