This trial is testing if a higher dose of ocrelizumab given through an IV drip is more effective and safe for patients with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS). The drug works by reducing harmful immune cells to potentially slow down the disease. Ocrelizumab is the first drug approved for treating both relapsing and primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis.

This is an open label, Phase 1b, multiple ascending dose, and dose-expansion study of IDP-023 administered in combination with interleukin-2 (IL-2) and ocrelizumab to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and biologic activity on autoreactive immune cells in patients with refractory progressive multiple sclerosis.

This trial is testing a memory improvement method to help people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) enhance their memory and daily functioning. The technique involves brain training exercises or activities. The modified Story Memory Technique (mSMT) has been shown to improve new learning and memory in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS).

This is a human clinical study involving the isolation of autologous bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSC) and transfer to the vascular system and inferior 1/3 of the nasal passages in order to determine if such a treatment will provide improvement in neurologic function for patients with certain neurologic conditions. http://mdstemcells.com/nest/

REPAIR-MS is a single-center open label, sequential group, investigator and patient blinded study to assess the CNS metabolic effects, safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of CNM-Au8 in patients who have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) within fifteen (15) years of Screening. The primary endpoint for this study changes from baseline to week 12 in CNS metabolic changes, based on 31P-MRSimaging.

A growing body of work suggests that regular exercise can support symptom management and improve physical function for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Although exercise is known to be beneficial for managing many symptoms related to MS, its effects on the central nervous system, and whether these effects change with different types of exercise, are not well understood. Here, the investigators have designed a clinical trial that compares the effects of distinct exercise protocols on aspects of physical function, physical fitness, and central nervous system function. This research will be the first to compare the effects of different types of exercise on central nervous system changes in people with MS.

This trial tests if N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) can help people with progressive multiple sclerosis by protecting brain cells and reducing inflammation. Participants will be divided into two groups, with one group taking NAC. N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) has been studied for its potential benefits in various conditions, including multiple sclerosis, cannabis use disorder, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Why We Started Power

My name is Bask, and I helped to start the company here. We started Power when my Dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I needed a better way to understand how he could access the most promising immunotherapy for his illness.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis medical study ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added Azer-cel for Autoimmune Disease, IDP-023 + Ocrelizumab for Multiple Sclerosis and CAR T-Cell Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis to the Power online platform.
