Trial summary

Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite score (MSFC) is one of the gold standard for multiple sclerosis (MS) patient clinical evaluation. However, its practical implementation is not always optimal as it can prove to be very time consuming. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Pilot Validation Study Comparing "DAM" a Smartphone Application With the Composite MSFC Score Intra-individually Among Multiple Sclerosis Patients

Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite score (MSFC) is one of the gold standard for multiple sclerosis (MS) patient clinical evaluation. However, its practical implementation is not always optimal as it can prove to be very time consuming. Moreover, it often constrains the range of tests used and is not a particularly good marker for patient real life disability status.

A mobile application called Digital Self-Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (DAM) was developed in order to replicate each of MSFC tests available in order to assess MS progression in the patient environment.

Read the detailed description

Patients are selected during a consultation at the Neurology department of the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (France). Each patient is given access to DAM on their own or a provided iPhone. During the enrolment visit, patients have to complete a MSFC and DAM evaluation (V0). Through a push-notification on their phone, patients are reminded to perform two DAM evaluations at home at days 30 (V1) and 60 (V2). At day 90 (V3), they have to come back to hospital for a second MSFC and DAM evaluation

  2. correlation between the DAM score

    Measured: At Day 60 and Day 90

  3. correlation between the the MSFC and the DAM score

    Measured: At Day 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Sclerosis, run by Ad scientiam.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 12 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

correlation between the MSFC score and the DAM score (time frame: At Day 0). 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 12 Sep 2016.
