About this study

Official title: A Phase 2B Randomised, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial of the Efficacy and Safety of MIS416 in the Treatment of Subjects With Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

The purpose of this study is to determine whether MIS416 administered once weekly over 12 months is safe, tolerable, and improves a range of signs and symptoms associated with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.

Read the detailed description

The primary objectives of the study are to:

  1. Determine the efficacy of MIS416, relative to placebo, when administered repeatedly via weekly intravenous (IV) administration to subjects with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, as assessed by its effect on measures of neuromuscular function.
  2. Determine the safety and tolerability of a weekly regimen of MIS416.

The secondary objectives of the study are to:

  1. Determine the effect of MIS416 on disease activity and neurodegeneration by assessing changes in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) markers including lesions, whole brain atrophy (WBA) and Magnetization Transfer Ratio (MTR).
  2. Determine the effect of MIS416 on Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) related to disability and health status.
  3. Assess, in a subset of subjects, the pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of MIS416, including effects on serum, Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC), and Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) cytokine/chemokine levels and expression patterns.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from baseline of neuromuscular function at 12 months

    Neuromuscular function will be assessed using the following test:

    • MS Function Composite (MSFC), comprising the; timed 25 Foot Walk, 9 Hole Peg Test (9HPT), and Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT);
    • Jebsen Hand Function Test (JHFT);
    • Grip, tip and key pinch strength;
    • Symbol digit modalities test (SDMT);
    • Sloan low-contrast letter visual acuity (SLCVA);
    • 6-minute walk test (6MWT);

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

  2. Proportion of Participants with Serious and Non-Serious Adverse Events

    Safety assessments will be conducted at each study visit and include; characterization of the type, incidence, severity, timing, seriousness, and relationship to treatment of adverse events (AEs); effects on vital signs and clinical laboratory parameters; changes on electrocardiograms (ECGs); and at 3 months and 12 months - the number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions on cranial MRI assessments.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change from baseline of disability and health status at 12 months

    Disability and health status will be assessed using the following assessments and patient reported outcomes:

    • Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)
    • Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) including;
    • SF-36 and its components;
    • MS Impact Scale (MSIS-29);
    • Neurological Fatigue Index for MS (NFI-MS);
    • Brief Pain Inventory (BPI).

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months

  2. Change from baseline of neurodegeneration by assessing changes in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) markers at 12 months

    Disease activity and neurodegeneration will be assessing using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) markers including lesions, whole brain atrophy (WBA) and Magnetization Transfer Ratio (MTR).

    Measured: Baseline, 3, and 12 months

  3. Change from baseline of activity of immune biomarkers in serum

    The effect on immune biomarkers will include the analysis of serum for some or all of the following markers: IP-10 (CXCL10), MCP-1 (CCL2), MIG (CXCL9), IL-8 (CXCL8), IFNγ, Neopterin, IL-1RA, sTNF-R, IL-12/23, p40, CD62E (E-selectin), CD54 (ICAM-1), and CD106 (VCAM-1).

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  4. Change from baseline of activity of immune biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

    The effect on immune biomarkers will include the analysis of CSF for some or all of the following markers: IP-10 (CXCL10), MCP-1 (CCL2), MIG (CXCL9), IL-8 (CXCL8), IFNγ, Neopterin, IL-1RA, sTNF-R, IL-12/23, p40, CD62E (E-selectin), CD54 (ICAM-1), and CD106 (VCAM-1).

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  5. Change from baseline in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) immune biomarkers

    Some or all of these biomarkers may be assayed ex vivo: PBMC expression of mRNA encoding proteins involved in myeloid differentiation and immune regulatory function (e.g. VEGF, Arginine, INOS, IL-10, MMP9); PBMC myeloid subset production of IL-10, TGFβ, IL-6, TNFα, IL-1β, IFNγ, IL-17, and GM-CSF in response to stimulation with LPS, LPS/IFNγ or MIS416 ex vivo; and PBMC subset analysis of myeloid and dendritic cell subsets for immunoregulatory cell subset markers.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MIS416 and Saline in people with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, run by Innate Immunotherapeutics at 7 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 13 inclusion and 14 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 14 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Australia, New Zealand. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Change from baseline of neuromuscular function at 12 months (time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months). 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 14 Jul 2017.
