Palliative Care Information for Multiple Sclerosis
New York, New York
This study is using a central, computer-generated simple randomization technique. Participants will be randomly assigned to groups within the constraints of ensuring balanced representation of gender, ethnicity, and race.
One-half of the patients are randomized to the decision aid video model, and one-half will serve as controls and receive a palliative care (PC) informational sheet. Sessions are designed to be consistent with PC principles of care using constructs from the Murray's transition theory including knowledge development coupled with advanced care planning (ACP)-to drive palliative care alongside curative treatment, and to support people with chronic progressive illnesses. The 2 groups will complete the demographic forms, and pre- and post-tests, at baseline and after three months. The intervention group will view the video decision aid, which takes 10 minutes, during their follow up appointment. The controls will read written information of the same content shown on the video and will complete similar questionnaires. The video opens with empathic statements regarding the situation in which patients may find themselves, including an introduction about medical decisions, and statements regarding values and spiritual beliefs and their impact on decision-making. The video translates the information into actionable medical orders using a three-goal framework: life-prolonging care, limited/blended care, and comfort care. The video describes the features of each of the goals of care and the risks and benefits of each option using visual images that illustrate the interventions. Patients will review the video using iPads and will be able to review the video again as needed. The Flesch-Kincaid ease score for the video narration is 71.6; for the "Conversation" piece, it is 65.9. These indicate that the passages require approximately a 7th or 8th grade reading level, which Flesch suggests makes them "easy to read" and "plain English," respectively.
The goal of the video intervention is to help patients express their values and health goals, while achieving their life and core values. The intervention group will view the video which includes modules to teach patients strategies for expressing their concerns and enhance their self-efficacy, helping them overcome any barriers. To enhance intervention fidelity, an ACP facilitator guide will be developed as reference for the intervention implementation. It will detail the key topics and purposes of each session of the intervention, the guiding questions, and the facilitation skills.
Aim 1: To explore the preferences of patients with neuroinflammatory diseases, PC knowledge, decisional conflict, and preparation for decision making among 50 adult (18-65 years old) patients randomly assigned to one of two PC modalities: 1. a video depicting PC goals of care (intervention group, n=25), or 2. standard usual care using PC written information (control group, n=25).
H1a: Patients randomized to the video will have higher documented preferences and fewer preferences for life-prolonging interventions (primary outcome) than the control group. The intervention group will have greater knowledge, lower decisional conflict, and greater preparation for decision making than those randomized to the control group.
Aim 2: To compare PC conversations and documentation at 3 months among patients with neuroinflammatory diseases.
H2: Patients randomized to the video will have more PC conversations and higher rates of PC documentation after 3 months.

BIIB091 for Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
Teaneck, New Jersey
In this study, researchers will learn more about a study drug called BIIB091 in participants with MS who may be experiencing relapses. It is a 2-part study.
In Part 1, one set of participants will take either BIIB091 or diroximel fumarate (DRF). In Part 2, a different set of participants will take either a combination of BIIB091 and DRF or DRF alone.
The goal of the study is to learn more about the safety of BIIB091 and to compare the effects of the study drug when taken alone or together with DRF.
The main question researchers are trying to answer are:
* How many participants have new or worsening medical problems (adverse events) after taking BIIB091 or DRF?
* How many new areas of inflammation occur in the brain after treatment with BIIB091 and DRF?
Researchers will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to compare images of the brain before and after treatment. They will also explore the effect of BIIB091 and DRF on the heart using electrocardiograms (ECGs).
The study will be done as follows:
* After screening, participants who joined Part 1 will be randomly assigned to receive either a high or low dose of BIIB091, or the standard dose of DRF.
* The results of Part 1 will be used to choose the best dose of BIIB091 to use in Part 2.
* Participants who join Part 2 will be randomly assigned to receive either a standard dose of DRF, a combo of BIIB091 and the standard dose of DRF, or a combo of BIIB91 with a low dose of DRF.
* Neither the researchers nor the participants will know which drug or dose the participants will receive in either part of the study.
* The treatment period will last 48 weeks in each part of the study. Participants will take the drugs by mouth 2 times a day.
* Each part will also have a follow-up safety period that lasts up to 2 weeks.
* In total, participants in each part will have 20 study visits, or more if they have a relapse. The total study duration for participants will be up to 54 weeks.

ATP128 + VSV-GP128 + BI 754091 for Colorectal Cancer
New York, New York
This is a multi-center, non-randomised Phase 1b study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATP128 alone or in combination with BI 754091 and of heterologous prime-boost ATP128 + VSV-GP128 in combination with BI 754091.
ATP128 is a self-adjuvanted chimeric recombinant protein vaccine being developed in combination with programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) blockade for the treatment of microsatellite stable (MSS) patients not responding to PD-1 blockade. The PD-1 inhibitor being tested with ATP128 is the BI 754091 (Ezabenlimab) compound which belongs to the human immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) subclass of antibodies.
VSV-GP is a recombinant chimeric vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV, Indiana strain Rhabdoviridae) which carries the envelope glycoprotein (GP) of the visceral non neurotropic WE-HPI strain of the Lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV, Arenaviridae) instead of the native VSV glycoprotein (G) and is developed as integral part of the prime-boost regimen together with ATP128.
The Sponsor plans to enrol 96 patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed stage IV colorectal cancer coming form three different patient populations:
* Cohort 1a: 6 patients with stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) having failed standard of care (SoC) therapies
* Cohorts 1b, 2a, 2c: 30 patients with stage IV microsatellite stable/mismatch repair-proficient (MSS/MMRp) CRC being in stable disease (SD) or partial response (PR) after first line of SoC (4-6 months duration at minimum)
* Cohorts 2b, 4b: 30 patients with stage IV MSS/MMRp liver-limited disease
Patients eligible for this study will be enrolled in one of the 8 cohorts depending on their disease:
* Patients in Cohort 1a will receive ATP128 as single agent
* Patients in Cohorts 1b, 2a, 2b, 2c will receive ATP128 in combination with BI 754091
* Patients in Cohorts 3, 4a, 4b will receive ATP128 and VSV-GP128 in combination with BI 754091

Exercise for Multiple Sclerosis
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This multi-center, randomized controlled feasibility trial will assess a 20-week home-based exercise intervention in youth with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The goal is to determine the feasibility of conducting a larger, definitive trial on exercise training as a non-pharmacological approach to improve disease outcomes in this population.
Participants will be randomized to either an Exercise Training Intervention group or a Mobility and Flexibility Training control group. The investigators will evaluate differences between the two groups in physical activity levels, mediators of physical activity, and psychosocial outcomes. Assessments, including clinical exams, brain MRI, MEG/eye tracking, cognitive testing, blood draws, and questionnaires, will occur at baseline and after 20 weeks. Accelerometry will be done at baseline, 10 weeks, and 20 weeks to track physical activity.
The primary objectives are to assess the feasibility of recruiting, retaining, and randomizing youth with MS and to evaluate adherence to the exercise intervention and coaching sessions. Exploratory objectives include examining changes in depressive symptoms, cognitive function, blood biomarkers (BDNF and irisin), brain volume, and fitness levels in response to the intervention.
Approximately 40 participants will be enrolled from four sites in Canada and the United States.
Primary outcomes include feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity measures. Exploratory outcomes include blood biomarkers, brain MRI, cognitive testing, and other neuropsychological measures.

Computer-based Cognitive Training for Multiple Sclerosis
East Hanover, New Jersey
Cognitive impairments are common in multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosed both at the onset and throughout the disease course. Poor cognitive abilities have been associated with poor outcomes such as higher levels of unemployment, poor quality of life, driving difficulties among others. Learning and memory are a common cognitive deficit. This computer-based cognitive training is a 10-session treatment proven to be effective in ameliorating learning and memory in individuals with MS across 3 realms of functioning: objective cognitive performance, daily life activities and neuroimaging. Despite this strong efficacy, as well as the recent clinical application of this computer-based cognitive training across the world, recent in-person studies have highlighted that transportation to the clinic to complete treatment sessions is a significant obstacle to clinical use of this effective treatment. To address this limitation, the proposed pilot study will test the efficacy of the computer-based cognitive training administered remotely via zoom health in persons with multiple sclerosis.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Multiple Sclerosis clinical trials in New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey ?
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 New Jersey ?
Most recently, we added Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Depression in Multiple Sclerosis, Ofatumumab for Multiple Sclerosis and Exercise 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.
