About this study

Official title: Patient Research Cohort: Rapidly Evolving Multiple Sclerosis Opening the Window of Therapeutic Opportunity

The primary goal of the research cohort is to facilitate patient access to clinical trials testing new therapeutic interventions, or access to second- line treatments.

Secondary objectives of the research cohort study are to obtain detailed clinical phenotyping and immunological analysis of blood samples, aiming to identify and validate biomarkers of disease activity and response to treatment and prognostic markers.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of Research Cohort Subjects Referred Into a Clinical Trial or Offered Treatment With an Appropriate Second-line Therapy.

    The primary goal of the observational research cohort is to facilitate patient access to clinical trials testing new therapeutic interventions or appropriate management for rapidly evolving multiple sclerosis (MS). This was devised as a single, combined primary outcome measure. The primary outcome is the proportion of research cohort subjects either referred into a clinical trial or offered treatment with an appropriate second-line therapy. (approved Protocol Version 4.1 - September 13th, 2011). The statistical assumption based on data from similar research cohorts stipulated that 50% of recruited patients will consent to proceed to further clinical trials or access new therapies.

    Measured: Two years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Access and Utilization of Cohort Data

    The outcome reports the Number of participants whose data was used in any approved research. Examples of utilisation of data include imaging data analysis for MS-related research performed on the study participants' dataset and analysis of correlation of clinical phenotype with imaging data. Given the exploratory nature, no specific quantitative assumptions are made on the secondary outcome. Examples of studies utilising the anonymised cohort data: (1) Rapidly evolving multiple sclerosis: MRI findings predict clinical progression and disease phenotype (Dr Jean Lee, Dr A Waldmann, Dr R Newbould, ICL). (2) A study to characterize the novel TSPO PET radioligand [18F]PBR111 as an in vivo marker of microglial activation in Multiple Sclerosis (Dr A Colasanti, Imanova Ltd and GlaxoSmithKline). Conditions for participants to meet this outcome measure are: (A) completion of study visits (B) maintained (non-revoked) consent and (C) utilisation of the anonymised data in any further study.

    Measured: two years

  2. Development of Biomarkers

    The outcome consists of the Number of participants whose data was used in biomarkers development studies. Biomarkers studies include analysis of blood immunological studies performed on the study participants' dataset and analysis of correlation of clinical phenotype with immunological data, examples given below. Conditions for participants to meet this outcome measure are: (A) completion of study visits (B) maintained (non-revoked) consent and (C) utilisation of the anonymised immunological and clinical data in any biomarkers study.

    Given the exploratory nature, no quantitative assumptions are made on the outcome. Examples of studies of biomarkers: 1) Functional relevance of haematopoietic stem cell mobilisation following therapeutic alpha 4-integrin blockade in multiple sclerosis (Dr MMattoscio, ICL).

    2)The relationship between T cell responses and disease progression in demyelinating disorders of the central nervous system (Prof D Altmann, ICL).

    Measured: two years

  3. Development of Clinical Prognostic Markers.

    The outcome consists of the Number of participants whose data was used in studies aimed at the development of markers of clinical prognosis. Those are studies involving statistical analysis and models that may enable prognostic predictions from clinical phenotype, imaging and immunological data in any combination, with examples indicated below. Conditions for participants to meet this outcome measure are: (A) completion of study visits (B) maintained (non-revoked) consent and (C) utilisation of the anonymised imaging immunological and clinical data in any prognostic development research.

    Given their exploratory nature, no specific quantitative assumptions are made on the secondary outcome. Example of studies of prognostic markers: 1) Worse Physical Disability is associated with High Blood frequency of CD8+CD57+(ILT2+PD-1+) T-cells in MS Patients with Older Appearing Brains (Dr S Jacobs, Prof R Nicholas and Prof J Cole, Imperial College London and KCL).

    Measured: two years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Relapsing-remitting Multiple Sclerosis and Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, run by Imperial College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 0 inclusion and 4 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 8 Mar 2021. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Mar 2021). 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?

Proportion of Research Cohort Subjects Referred Into a Clinical Trial or Offered Treatment With an Appropriate Second-line Therapy. (time frame: Two 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 8 Mar 2021.
