About this study

Official title: Grey Matter Damage at the Earliest Phase of Multiple Sclerosis : a Longitudinal 7T Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

The present study is an opportunity to assess grey matter damage at the earliest phase of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) allowing to a better understanding of its origins and its impact and disease severity. This study is a preliminary longitudinal study to precisely depict the kinetic of grey matter damage and the links with disease aggravation. Thirty MS patients without time and spatial dissemination criteria (only one symptomatic MRI lesion detected) but with oligoclonal bands detected on cerebro spinal fluid analysis will be included for a monocentric transversal MRI study at 7T to assess grey matter injury. Clinical and neuropsychological assessments will be performed in the population the same day of a multi-parametric MRI. A longitudinal clinical and MRI follow up will be performed during 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI 7T in people with Multiple Sclerosis, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille at 1 site in France.

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 5 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2024. 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 France. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

number of cortical lesions (time frame: 2 hours). 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 6 Aug 2024.
