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.

  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: patients with multiple sclerosis (according to the 2010 revised Mcdonald criteria) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (according to the 2015 revised diagnostic criteria)

Who may be able to join

  • a diagnosis of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders(according to the 2015 revised diagnostic criteria) or relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis(according to the 2010 revised Mcdonald criteria)

About this study

Official title: Multimodel MRI to Explore the Pathophysiology of Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders

To investigate multimodel MRI exploring the pathophysiology of multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders.

The investigators use multimodel MRI to evaluate the extent of blood-brain barrier and white matter fiber tracts destruction , iron deposition and cerebral blood flow of associated regions in multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders using contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging , quantitative susceptibility mapping, diffusion tension imaging, and arterial spin labeling with post labeling delay of 2.0 seconds. Transfer constant volume , magnetic susceptibility, cerebral blood flow and fractional anisotropy(FA) value were measured in lesion and normal appearing white matter.

Read the detailed description

Patients:

Patients with multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders were included. clinical characteristics such as disease duration, expanded disability status scale(EDSS) score, age, associated laboratory examination(autoantibodies directed to aquaporin-4 and oligoclonal bands in serum as well as cerebrospinal fluid)were recorded.

Imaging scan were conducted at admission, six months and one year after admission

Imaging protocols:

MRI scan protocols: T2 weighted image, T1 weighted image, Diffusion weighted image(DWI), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR), dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging(DCE-MRI) , diffusion tension imaging(DTI) ,quantitative susceptibility mapping(QSM) , arterial spin labeling(ASL) with post labeling delay(PLD) of seconds, sagittal CUBE Fluid Attenuation Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) images, sagittal 3-dimensional Fast Spoiled Gradient Echo(3D-FSPGR).

Contrast agent:

Omniscan 0.1mmol/kg, Inject rate:2ml/s

Imaging evaluation:

Transfer constant volume value measured by DCE-MRI indicates the extent of blood-brain barrier destruction.

Magnetic susceptibility manifests iron deposition in lesions and normal appearing white matter.

Diffusion tension imaging demonstrates the extent of white matter fiber tracts destruction.

Arterial spin labeling(ASL) with post labeling delay(PLD)of seconds shows cerebral blood flow in associated regions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recurrence

    The patients will be monitored whether they recured multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders confirmed by neurologist and conventional MRI.

    Clinical suspicious signs of recurrence : visual loss,urination and defecation function disturbance and so on.

    Conventional MRI: there are new lesions or the lesions show high signal on diffusion weighted images or enhancement on post contrast enhanced images.

    Measured: three months to one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Sclerosis and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders, run by Chinese PLA General Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2016. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xiaoxiao Ma, M.D. (+86 13323326150, 1103483781@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Recurrence (time frame: three months to one 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 9 Aug 2016.
