About this study

Official title: Silent Progression Monitoring in Extreme Phenotypes. SP-MS, Despite an Effective Early Highly Active Treatment as a Paradigm SPAM Study (Silent Progression Activity Monitoring)

Real-World Data (RWD) exploring the natural history of MS suggested that relapses do not significantly influence the progression of irreversible disability. Disability progression independent of relapses activity (PIRA) has been confirmed as a frequent relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) phenomenon based on Randomized Clinical Trials (RCT). Recently, RWD demonstrated that the absence of markers of inflammation (No Evidence of Disease Activity (NEDA) at 2 years did not predict long-term stability. Silent progression has been proposed to describe the insidious disability that accrues many patients who satisfy traditional criteria for relapsing-remitting MS. In this study, the investigators would like to evaluate the occurrence of the SPMS in a population of RRMS patient with an Highly Active Treatment (HAT).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Multiple Sclerosis, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2023. 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?

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?

Determination of baseline clinical markers associated with SPMS diagnosis despite an early, practical, Highly Active Treatment. (time frame: Baseline: beginning of highly active treatment). The study lists 15 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Jul 2023.
