What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean Overall Response Score (ORS) at Week 52
The ORS is a composite score derived from 4 components: Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), 9-Hole Peg Test in the dominant hand (9HPT-D), and 9HPT in the non-dominant hand (9HPT-ND).
Clinically significant worsening = -1, no change = 0, clinically significant improvement = +1.
The ORS is the sum of these scores for the EDSS: Timed 25-Foot Walk, 9-Hole Peg Test-dominant, and 9-Hole Peg Test-nondominant and ranges from -4 to + 4.
Measured: Week 52
Secondary outcomes (4)
Disability Improvement Response Rate
Disability improvement response rate is assessed based on the Expanded Disability Status Scale Plus (EDSS+). EDSS+ is comprised of EDSS, Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW) and 9-Hole Peg Tests (9HPT).
Measured: Week 52
Overall Response Score (ORS)
The ORS is a composite score derived from 4 components: Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), 9-Hole Peg Test in the dominant hand (9HPT-D), and 9HPT in the non-dominant hand (9HPT-ND).
Clinically significant worsening = -1, no change = 0, clinically significant improvement = +1.
The ORS is the sum of these scores for the EDSS, Timed 25-Foot Walk, 9-Hole Peg Test-dominant and 9-Hole Peg Test-non-dominant and ranges from -4 to + 4.
Measured: Week 12
Overall Response Score (ORS)
The ORS is a composite score derived from 4 components: Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), 9-Hole Peg Test in the dominant hand (9HPT-D), and 9HPT in the non-dominant hand (9HPT-ND).
Clinically significant worsening = -1, no change = 0, clinically significant improvement = +1.
The ORS is the sum of these scores for the EDSS, Timed 25-Foot Walk, 9-Hole Peg Test-dominant and 9-Hole Peg Test-non-dominant and ranges from -4 to + 4.
Measured: Week 24
Overall Response Score (ORS)
The ORS is a composite score derived from 4 components: Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW), 9-Hole Peg Test in the dominant hand (9HPT-D), and 9HPT in the non-dominant hand (9HPT-ND).
Clinically significant worsening = -1, no change = 0, clinically significant improvement = +1.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing elezanumab in people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), run by AbbVie at 49 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 22 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 49 sites in United States, Canada. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Dec 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Mean Overall Response Score (ORS) at Week 52 (time frame: Week 52). 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 22 Dec 2023.
