- Participant can consume up to 120 mL of the investigational drug suspension daily.
- Participant is not adequately treated by current standard of care DMT, which is evidenced by: progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA) based on an EDSS change of 0.5 or more over a 6-month period where the initial EDSS was 4.0 or more, OR an EDSS increase of 1.0 or more if over a 6-month period where the initial EDSS was 2.0 or more, AND the participant has been treated with an MS immunomodulatory disease modifying treatment (DMT) including S1P drugs (e.g., fingolimod, ponesimod, ozanimod), natalizumab, cladribine, a B-cell depleting therapy (e.g., ocrelizumab, ofatumumab), or other appropriate DMTs for at least the prior 6-months, OR has demonstrated an EDSS increase per the criteria above despite at least a 6-month period of prior immunomodulatory DMT treatment that was subsequently discontinued due lack of response or intolerance to treatment.
- Participant has an EDSS score of greater than or equal to 2.0 and less than or equal to 6.5.

- Females who are pregnant, have a positive pregnancy test, are nursing, or who plan to get pregnant during participation in the EAP or within 6 months of the ending participation in the EAP.

About this study
Official title: Intermediate Expanded Access Protocol With CNM-Au8 for Multiple Sclerosis
This is a single-center intermediate expanded access program to provide access to the investigational product, CNM-Au8, up to 25 participants diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
Read the detailed description
This is an intermediate expanded access program to provide access to the investigational product, CNM-Au8, for up to 25 participants. All participants will receive open label treatment with CNM-Au8 30 mg orally.
The safety and efficacy of CNM-Au8 treatment in MS participants will be evaluated. Scheduled visits will occur at the baseline visit, week 6 visit, week 12, and then every 12-weeks thereafter at the participating clinic(s). Optional remote data collection via telemedicine and/or home healthcare visits are permitted commencing with the week 12 visit. Clinical safety laboratory monitoring including urinalysis, a chemistry panel (e.g., CMP) and a hematology panel (e.g., CBC) will be conducted at the screening/baseline visit and at each scheduled visit incorporating safety laboratory assessments.
Participants who meet the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusionary criteria may be enrolled into the EAP.
The program and participant visits will continue for a total of 96-weeks of treatment. Four weeks following treatment discontinuation, a safety follow-up visit will be conducted.
Investigational product may be shipped by the site to participants who do not attend an in-clinic visit.
The EAP may be discontinued at the Sponsor's sole discretion if: (i) there is insufficient funding to maintain the EAP, (ii) the Sponsor is unable to produce sufficient supply of the investigational product to meet clinical trial obligations, (iii) CNM-Au8 receives marketing authorization within the United States, or (iv) continued support of the EAP risks further clinical development of CNM-Au8.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CNM-Au8Drug
Also called Nanocrystalline gold
CNM-Au8 is an aqueous suspension of clean surfaced faceted nanocrystals consisting of gold atoms self-organized into crystals of various geometrical shapes (hexagonal bi-pyramid, pentagonal bipyramid, tetrahedron, decahedron, planar spheroids). Highly pure elemental Au nanocrystals are suspended in USP purified deionized water buffered with 0.546 mg/mL (6.5 mM) sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) nominally concentrated to 0.5 mg/L (500 ppm). CNM-Au8 will be administered orally in volumes of 60 mL from single-dose HDPE containers. Participants will orally receive 30 mg of CNM-Au8 once daily.
