简要总结

To explore whether treatment with glatiramer acetate (GA) may decrease iron deposition in subcortical deep GM, as detected by SWI-filtered phase imaging, in patients with RRMS over 24 months and compared to a reference population of healthy controls.

详细描述

This is a prospective, observational, single-blinded, longitudinal, 24-month MRI study of the evolution of iron deposits, as evidenced by SWI-filtered phase imaging, in RRMS patients treated with GA and in healthy controls.

入选标准

  • MS patients diagnosed with clinically definite MS according to the McDonald criteria (Polman et al., 2005)
  • Being on GA monotherapy (20mg/day sc) for at least 24 months prior to the 24-month MRI scan
  • Having baseline clinical MRI scan that included SWI-filtered phase imaging in a 12-month window from the start day of the of the GA (MS patients)
  • Having baseline clinical MRI scan that included SWI-filtered phase imaging (healthy controls)
  • MS patients having a RR disease course (Lublin and Reingold, 1996)
  • Age 18-65 (healthy controls will be matched to MS patients for age and sex)
  • Signed informed consent at the 24-month follow-up
  • Pass MRI health screening
  • MS patients passing contrast screening
  • MS patients having normal kidney function (creatinine clearance >59)
  • None of the exclusion criteria

排除标准

  • Patients who had a relapse within 30 days prior to MRI baseline scan date
  • Patients who received steroid treatment within 30 days prior to the MRI baseline scan date
  • Women who are pregnant, lactating or of childbearing age who do not consent to approved contraceptive use during the study
  • MS patients who used other imunomodulatory or immunosuppressant treatment other than GA during the follow-up (e.g., IFN-β, mitoxantrone, cyclophosphamide, cladribine, fludarabine, cyclosporine, total body, azathioprine, methotrexate, IVIG, cellcept, natalizumab, etc.)
  • MS patients having abnormal kidney function (creatinine clearance <59)
