About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase III Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Remibrutinib in Patients With Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
The purpose of this study is to provide efficacy and safety data for remibrutinib in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS)
Read the detailed description
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, parallel-group, event-driven study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of remibrutinib in SPMS patients. Approximately 1275 eligible participants will be randomized to receive either remibrutinib or matching placebo.
The study consists of an event-driven Core Part with double-blind treatment, followed by an Extension Part with open-label remibrutinib treatment.

[Extension Part: Open-label remibrutinib film-coated tablet taken orally] Receives: Drug: Remibrutinib (blinded); Drug: Remibrutinib (Open label) |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to 6-month confirmed disability progression (6mCDP) on Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)
The EDSS is an ordinal scale used for assessing neurologic impairment in MS based on a neurological examination. It consists of scores in each of seven functional systems and an ambulation score that are then combined to determine the EDSS steps (ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS)).
6mCDP is defined as an increase from baseline in EDSS sustained for at least 6 months.
Measured: From baseline up to approximately 5 years
Secondary outcomes (8)
Time to 3-month confirmed disability progression (3mCDP) on EDSS
The EDSS is an ordinal scale used for assessing neurologic impairment in MS based on a neurological examination. It consists of scores in each of seven functional systems and an ambulation score that are then combined to determine the EDSS steps (ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS)).
3mCDP is defined as an increase from baseline in EDSS sustained for at least 3 months.
Measured: From baseline up to approximately 5 years
Time to 6-month confirmed disability improvement (6mCDI) on EDSS
The EDSS is an ordinal scale used for assessing neurologic impairment in MS based on a neurological examination. It consists of scores in each of seven functional systems and an ambulation score that are then combined to determine the EDSS steps (ranging from 0 (normal) to 10 (death due to MS)).
A 6mCDI is defined as a decrease from baseline in EDSS sustained for at least 6 months.
Measured: From baseline up to approximately 5 years
Time to 3-month worsening by at least 20% in Timed 25-Foot Walk (T25FW)
The T25FW is an ambulation measurement assessing speed of walking: a timed (in seconds) walk of 25 feet (7.62 meters). Longer time indicates poorer lower limb function.
3-month worsening by at least 20% in T25FW is defined as an increase from baseline in T25FW of at least 20% sustained for at least 3 months.
Measured: From baseline up to approximately 5 years
Time to 3-month worsening by at least 20% in 9-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT)
The 9-HPT is an objective quantitative test of neurological function. It is measured to assess both right and left arm scores, the metric is the time, in seconds, required to insert and remove 9 pegs. Longer time indicates poorer upper limb function.
A 3-month worsening by at least 20% in 9-HPT is defined as an increase from baseline in 9-HPT of at least 20% sustained for at least 3 months
Measured: From baseline up to approximately 5 years
Annualized rate of new or enlarging T2 lesions
Number of new or enlarging T2 lesions per year based on MRI
Measured: From baseline up to approximately 5 years
Annualized rate of brain atrophy
Percentage change in brain volume relative to baseline per year based on MRI assessments
Measured: From baseline up to approximately 5 years
Time to 6-month worsening by at least 4 points in Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT)
The SDMT is a sensitive and specific test to assess information processing speed which is typically affected in cognitively impaired MS participants, The test scoring is calculated based on the number of correct answers in 90 seconds.
A 6-month worsening by at least 4 points in SDMT is defined as an increase from baseline in SDMT of at least 4 points sustained for at least 6 months.
Measured: From baseline up to approximately 5 years
Number of participants with Adverse events and Serious adverse events (SAE)
Incidence of adverse events including changes in laboratory data, vital signs, electrocardiogram (ECG) and Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) qualifying and reported as AEs.
Measured: From baseline up to approximately 5 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Remibrutinib (blinded) and Remibrutinib (Open label) in people with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (SPMS), run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 296 sites in 36 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 6 inclusion and 8 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 296 sites in United States, Spain, France, China, Germany and 31 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
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?
Contact Novartis Pharmaceuticals (1-888-669-6682, novartis.email@novartis.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Time to 6-month confirmed disability progression (6mCDP) on Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) (time frame: From baseline up to approximately 5 years). 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 13 Oct 2026.
