Summary
This trial will study the effects of bazedoxifene on myelin in women with RRMS.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 45-65 with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) who have been on stable immunomodulatory therapy. They must not be pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding and should use effective contraception. Participants cannot have severe myopia, a history of certain cancers or thromboembolism, untreated B12 deficiency or hypothyroidism, significant cardiac issues, or drug/alcohol abuse in the past year.
What is being tested?
The study tests bazedoxifene acetate's ability to repair nerve insulation (remyelination) in RRMS patients over six months. It uses electrophysiological techniques and MRI while participants continue their standard MS treatments. Women can't join other drug studies during this time.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include increased risk of blood clots (venous thromboembolism), hypersensitivity reactions like angioedema or anaphylaxis due to estrogens or bazedoxifene ingredients, and possibly undiagnosed uterine bleeding.
