Reducing the frequency of Autoimmune adverse events in the treatment of Multiple sclerosis with alemtuzumab using B-celL dEpletion (RAMBLE): a phase II, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial
To reduce the occurrence of autoimmune adverse events from the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) with alemtuzumab through the subsequent targeted use of rituximab. The hypothesis to be tested is that rituximab therapy following alemtuzumab treatment for MS will reduce the frequency of autoimmune adverse events. If this strategy proves to be safe and is […]
An Open-label Study Evaluating Ofatumumab Treatment Effectiveness and PROs in Subjects With RMS Transitioning From Fumarate-based RMS Approved Therapies or Fingolimod to Ofatumumab (ARTIOS)
This is a single arm, prospective, multicentre and open-label, 96-week study to evaluate the treatment effectiveness of ofatumumab (OMB) in subjects with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) transitioning from fumarate-based RMS approved therapies, such as dimethyl fumarate (DMF), diroximel fumarate (DRF), and monomethyl fumarate (MMF), or fingolimod due to breakthrough disease activity.
A Pilot Study of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Migraine in Multiple Sclerosis
Individuals with MS and migraine can face difficulties with thinking skills (e.g. concentration and memory), mood, fatigue, work and social activities.
