Learn More About PowerOnline Therapy for Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis
Waltham, Massachusetts
CAFE-MS will assess the effectiveness of two online programs for fatigue in multiple sclerosis (MS). Although they differ, both of these online programs contain information about MS and fatigue intended to help people with MS understand and manage their fatigue.
This large-scale, decentralized clinical trial is projected to enroll 2,000 people with MS. The collaboration between iConquerMS and 5 Veterans Affairs (VA) sites in the MS Centers of Excellence is designed to ensure sufficient representation of people with MS from populations traditionally under-represented in MS clinical trials.
The study is a 3-arm, randomized controlled clinical trial with study participation lasting 1 year. Two of the trial arms will include one of two online programs for managing fatigue in MS added to the trial participants' usual MS treatment, and the third arm will include usual MS treatment alone. The online program phase of the trial lasts for 6 months after randomization followed by a final study visit at 12 months. Participants in the usual MS treatment alone arm for the first 6 months will have an opportunity to choose one of the online programs for the final 6 months of the trial.

Why Other Patients Applied
I've been battling multiple sclerosis for 28 years. I've tried three medications. I keep my dosing stable, but I'm just tired of managing. I want to take control of my situation.

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.

Multiple Sclerosis PatientAge: 43
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.

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.

Nivolumab for Cancer
New Haven, Connecticut
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

[18F]3F4AP Imaging for Brain Conditions
Boston, Massachusetts
The overall objective is to obtain an initial assessment of the value of using \[18F\]3F4AP for imaging demyelinating diseases such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), neurodegenerative diseases such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD):
* Aim 1) Assess the safety of \[18F\]3F4AP in healthy volunteers and subjects with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and neurocognitive impaired subjects (AD/MCI). Hypothesis 1: Administration of \[18F\]3F4AP will result in no changes in vitals or other adverse events.
* Aim 2) Assess the radiation doses to the main organs in healthy volunteers. Hypothesis 2: the radiation doses to each organ will be comparable in all subjects and within the acceptable limits.
* Aim 3) Assess the pharmacokinetics of a bolus infusion of \[18F\]3F4AP in humans including healthy volunteers and patients. Hypothesis 3: the pharmacokinetics of \[18F\]3F4AP at the whole brain level will be similar in controls, TBI and AD/MCI subjects. The kinetics in demyelinated lesions will be slower than in healthy areas.
* Aim 4) Correlate MR images with \[18F\]3F4AP PET images. Hypothesis 4A: all the lesions seen on the MRI will show increased signal (VT or SUV) on the PET images. Hypothesis 4B: some of the lesions on the MRI will show increased signal (VT or SUV) on the PET but not all.
* Aim 5) Correlate \[18F\]3F4AP PET signal with neuropsychological testing in people with TBI and AD/MCI. Hypothesis 5A: increased PET signal (VT or SUV) will correlate with impaired Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE).

RVP-001 for Brain Tumors
New Haven, Connecticut
This Phase 2 clinical trial will study RVP-001, a new manganese-based MRI contrast agent, in people who are known to have gadolinium-enhancing central nervous system (CNS) lesions, for example brain tumors or multiple sclerosis.
The goal of this study is to assess safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of RVP-001 at three dose levels. The study will also compare RVP-001 imaging to gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA) imaging. A single dose of RVP-001 will be administered to each subject. Subjects will have known gadolinium-enhancing CNS lesions and will have a gadolinium-based contrast agent-enhanced MRI of the brain 2-14 days before receiving RVP-001 with imaging.
The ultimate goal of this research program is development of a gadolinium-free alternative to current general purpose MRI contrast agents.

Efgartigimod for Optic Neuritis
Boston, Massachusetts
The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to test efgartigimod alfa against placebo in adults with first-time optic neuritis (optic nerve inflammation). The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is it feasible to use efgartigimod alfa for optic neuritis?
* Is it feasible to run a larger trial testing efgartigimod alfa in optic neuritis?
* Does efgartigimod alfa work better than placebo in improving how quickly and how much vision returns?
Participants will:
* have their vision and blood tested
* be asked questions about their vision
* will receive standard of care treatment with steroids regardless of whether they are receiving efgartigimod alfa or not
* will have periodic visits over 6 months

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials in Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts ?
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 Massachusetts ?
Most recently, we added BMS-986368 for Multiple Sclerosis, [18F]3F4AP Imaging for Multiple Sclerosis and Nasal Foralumab 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 Massachusetts ?
