Neurofilaments for NEDA Assessing in MS

Terminated
Conditions
Multiple Sclerosis
Registration Number
NCT03250169
Lead Sponsor
Queen Mary University of London
Brief Summary

Goal is to evaluate the achievement of biological NEDA as demonstrated by a drop in neurofilament levels in MS patients commencing Alemtuzumab therapy as part of their MS management.

Detailed Description

Primary

1. To evaluate the achievement of NEDA using blood and CSF neurofilaments in Alemtuzumab treated patients.

Secondary

2. To assess prognosis at the end of the study based on neurofilament status.

3. To correlate neurofilament levels with clinical and MRI markers of disease activity.

4. To evaluate the effect of Alemtuzumab on the profile of other CSF, blood, urine, faeces biomarkers of inflammation, neurodegeneration, neuronal sprouting and synaptogenesis, treatment activity and metabolic activity.
