Brief Summary

RED4MS is a clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of autologous peptide coupled red blood cells (CLS12311) in patients with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). CLS12311 consists of autologous red blood cells (RBCs) chemically coupled with antigenic peptides and aims to treat RRMS by induction of antigen-specific immune tolerance.

Detailed Description

The RED4MS trial is designed as a combination of a phase Ib (part A) and a phase IIa (part B) study.

Part A is an open-label, dose-escalation study, enrolling 9 RRMS patients in three ascending dose groups. The first patient (sentinel) in each dose group will receive one cycle of the therapy, while the remaining patients will receive two treatment cycles.

Part B is a baseline-to-treatment, dose-blinded, randomized study and is designed to test the safety and efficacy of three different doses of CLS12311. During baseline phase, a total of 45 patients with active disease on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be selected for the treatment phase and randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio into one of three dosing groups. Each patient will receive two cycles of therapy.
