入选标准

  • 1.= 18 years
  • 2.Diagnosis of MS (according to McDonald criteria, revision of 2017) or of clinically isolated syndrome of CNS demyelination
  • 3.Acute relapse (new or recurring symptoms lasting at least 24 hrs, affecting the subject’s activities of daily living [ADL])
  • 4.Initial therapy of current relapse with IVMP (2500 - 5000 mg total dose) with unsatisfactory response
  • 5.EDSS at screening 2.0-8.0
  • 6.At screening, interval since onset of current relapse maximum 28 days
  • 7.At screening, interval since end of initial course of IVMP** at least 7 days
  • 8.Before onset of qualifying MS relapse, clinically stable for at least 30 days
  • 9.Written informed consent
  • Are the trial subjects under 18? no
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 140
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

排除标准

  • 1.Primary (PPMS) or secondary progressive MS (SPMS)
  • 2.Pseudo-relapse associated with fever or infection. Assessment of a potential pseudo-relaose will be performed at screening and include a) history, b) clinical findings on physical examination, c) vital signs and d) laboratory results.
  • 3.Known chronic autoimmune disorder (except for autoimmune thyroidits with hypothyroidism under sufficient substitution treatment) or deteriorating neurological condition except for MS
  • 4.Known malignant disease within 5 years of screening (except for localized basal cell carcinoma)
  • 5.Current or past relevant psychiatric disease (dementia, dissociative disorder, psychotic features, schizophrenia)
  • 6.Current depression (if BDI > 17 pts., thorough clinical evaluation is necessary to determine if MP therapy is feasible)
  • 7.Known allergies against methylprednisolone, a component of the MP product to be used locally; or against any components of immunoadsorption columns potentially used at the study site (i.e. camelid immunoglobulins or agarose if TheraSorb® may be used; protein A/ Peptid GAM if Immunosorba/Globaffin® may be used)
  • 8.Side-effects from MP during the initial treatment course that would, if recurring, foreseeably lead to MP discontinuation
  • 9.Contraindications to the use of methylprednisolone:
  • Insufficiently controlled diabetes
  • Insufficiently controlled arterial hypertension;
  • active infection with elevated inflammation parameters (e.g. hemogram, CrP);
  • tuberculosis (According to the Fachinformation (SmPC) for methylprednisolone, tuberculosis should be ruled out before any administration of i.v. methylprednisolone; unless a chest X-ray was performed and found unremarkable within the past year, a chest X-ray is recommended. Such chest X-ray constitutes part of clinical routine and is not a study procedure. )
  • vaccination with a live vaccine within 2 weeks before randomization;
  • severe osteoporosis / osteopenia;
  • 10.Contraindications to the use of IA:
  • Current use of ACE-inhibitors or sartans (taken within 3 d prior to visit 3/beginning of treatment), which can neither be replaced nor paused
  • Known disorders of the hemostatic system of vascular (e.g. von Willebrand syndrome), coagulation (e.g. hemophilia) or cellular (e.g. thrombocytopenia) origin
  • Conditions that prohibit anticoagulation using heparin and/or citrate
  • 11.Abnormal results of coagulation tests, or thrombocytopenia at Screening acc. to local laboratory reference values
  • 12.Known active infection with hepatitis B, C or HIV
  • 13.Any condition which is, at the time of screening and foreseeably for the remaining study period, severely compromising immune function (e.g. AIDS, severe systemic infection)
  • 14.Current drug abuse
  • 15.Pregnant or breast feeding women
  • 16.Women of child bearing potential without highly effective contraceptive measures (Clinical Trial Facilitation Group (CTFG) 9/15/2014) during the interval between screening and day 45.
  • 17.Anticipated poor compliance (e.g. due to long travel distance to the trial site)
  • 18.Current participation in other interventional clinical trial
  • 19.Patients under legal supervision or guardianship.
  • 20.Patients placed in an institution by official or court order
