Ozanimod for Multiple Sclerosis

Sacramento, California
This is a multicenter, longitudinal, single-arm, open-label study to describe the change from baseline in cognitive processing speed, measured by the SDMT, in subjects with RMS treated with ozanimod HCl 1 mg at 3 years. All subjects will receive orally administered ozanimod HCl 1 mg. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of subjects with a clinically meaningful increase in raw score of ≥ 4 points or 10% from baseline (improved). The treatment period is 36 months. For all subjects who finish the subject and for those who discontinue, there will be a 30-day (± 15 days) and a 90-day (± 10 days) Safety Follow-up Visit. There is no planned protocol extension following the end of the study. Approximately 250 subjects with RMS will be recruited for this study. Subjects with RMS will be enrolled in this study if they have received ≤ 1 DMT, have an EDSS ≤ 3.5, and have been diagnosed with RMS within 5 years of study entry. The Investigator will be responsible for the overall conduct of the study at the site, confirmation of subject eligibility, routine study subject clinical management including for MS relapses, and management of AEs.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've been using natural supplements and would like to find something more effective. My former PCP was hesitant to prescribe modafanil. I'm interested in learning about all options available to me—including the drugs currently under research investigation."

GK
Multiple Sclerosis PatientAge: 50

"I am 42 yrs old with 2 little kids, work as a nurse, tried several drugs, most made me feel awful. I want my quality of life. I don’t want to have to take something daily/monthly. I don’t like the side effects of many drugs. I'm excited to be considered as a candidate for one of these trials."

KT
Multiple Sclerosis PatientAge: 44

"I have been losing mobility in the past 3 years very rapidly. I have tried physical therapy, but it didn't really show results. I'll admit that I am not very self-motivated, so I can use some structure. I use to be extremely active and now I am like a wet rag. So I am hoping that participating in a research trial will be of help to me."

AK
Multiple Sclerosis PatientAge: 75

"I've tried 2 MS drugs but I am getting worse. I am having trouble walking long distances or for more than 30 minutes. I need to find a new medication. My doctor and I discussed some of the options in trials and I'm ready to dive in to learn more."

OL
Multiple Sclerosis PatientAge: 57

"I've been taking Kesimpta for a couple years now and seem to be having more flare ups. I'm only 43. I have 5 kids and feel like I'm missing my life. Sleeping my life away. I'm ready to try ANYTHING for a chance at living life again."

The DELIVER-MS study seeks to answer the question: Does early treatment with highly effective DMT improve the prognosis for people with MS? This is an area of significant controversy and no data currently exist to guide treatment choices for patients and clinicians. The study results will help guide overall treatment philosophy and will be applicable not only to a wide range of existing therapies but also to new therapies, meeting a significant unmet need in patient decision making and aiding the decision for medication approval by third parties.

Ocrelizumab for Multiple Sclerosis

San Francisco, California
B cell-depleting therapies, such as ocrelizumab, are among the most effective medications currently available for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). This suggests that B cells play a very important role in MS. While B cells are rapidly eliminated from the blood of patients treated with medications like ocrelizumab, little is known about how effectively B cells are eliminated from lymph nodes, which are important sites of B cell activation. This study is being conducted to determine to what extent B cells are targeted in lymph nodes following ocrelizumab treatment, which may have important consequences for long-term MS outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials in California pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials in California work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Multiple Sclerosis trials in California 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in California for Multiple Sclerosis is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in California several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Multiple Sclerosis medical study in California ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials in California ?
Most recently, we added Exercise for Multiple Sclerosis, Ozanimod vs Fingolimod for Multiple Sclerosis and Ofatumumab for Multiple Sclerosis to the Power online platform.
What do the "Power Preferred" and "SuperSite" badges mean?
We recognize research clinics with these awards when they are especially responsive to patients who apply through the Power online platform. SuperSite clinics are research sites recognized for a high standard of rapid and thorough follow-up with patient applicants. Meanwhile, Power Preferred clinics are the top 20 across the entire Power platform, recognized for their absolute top patient experience.
Which clinics have received Power Preferred and SuperSite awards recruiting for Multiple Sclerosis trials in California ?
The Multiple Sclerosis clinics in California currently recognized as SuperSites are: Hoag Memorial Hospital Site Number : 8400031 in Newport Beach, California Multiple Sclerosis Center of California Site Number : 8401122 in Laguna Hills, California
