REPAIR-MS Trial Summary
This trial is testing a new drug for MS patients who have been diagnosed within the last 15 years. The goal is to see if the drug is safe and effective, and how it affects the brain.
Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-70 with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) diagnosed within the last 15 years. Participants must have stable MS or be on specific therapies for at least 48 weeks. They should not have had recent relapses, metal implants affected by MRI, significant medical conditions, drug abuse history, pregnancy plans during and post-trial without contraception use, or a gold allergy.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The REPAIR-MS study is testing CNM-Au8 gold nanocrystals to see if they can improve brain metabolism in MS patients. This involves taking the treatment and having special brain scans called '31P-MRS imaging' over a period of 12 weeks to measure any changes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While side effects are not explicitly listed here, typical clinical trial concerns include potential allergic reactions to the gold nanocrystals and issues related to frequent MRI scans such as discomfort or claustrophobia.

If you have been vaccinated for hepatitis B and have detectable antibodies, you are not excluded unless you test positive for hepatitis surface antigen.I do not have significant liver or kidney issues, low platelet counts, or high eosinophil levels.I am not pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant within 6 months after the trial.I have been on a stable dose of natalizumab every 28 days for at least 6 months.My blood and biochemical tests are stable, even if some results are outside the normal range.If the doctor thinks you might try to hurt yourself, or if you have tried to hurt yourself before, you cannot join this group of the study. If you sometimes think about hurting yourself but don't plan to do it, the doctor will decide if you can join.I have been diagnosed with Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis.You have thoughts of hurting yourself or have tried to hurt yourself in the past.You have metal objects inside your body that could be affected by an MRI scan.I do not have eye conditions causing retinal damage other than MS.You have been involved in another experimental drug study or have taken an experimental drug within the last 12 weeks.You have had an allergic reaction to gold in the past.I have been on consistent B-cell therapy or S1P modulator therapy for at least 48 weeks.I am between 18 and 70 years old.I am on MS treatment but not using B-cell depleters or S1P modulators.Your eyesight is very poor, or you have certain eye conditions that could affect the study results.My disease has not worsened in the last 3 months.My disability score is 6.5 or less, showing I can walk with some assistance.I was diagnosed with MS less than 15 years ago.I have been treated with MS medications other than natalizumab or have taken clemastine fumarate.I have been diagnosed with PPMS or nonactive SPMS.Your blood and other test results need to be within normal limits, and any abnormalities should not be a cause for concern.You are afraid of being in small, enclosed spaces, or you might not be able to finish the MRI scan.You are currently in another research study or taking a medication that is not approved by the government.You have metal objects inside your body that could be affected by an MRI.My symptoms are not due to PPMS or SPMS.I am between 18 and 55 years old.I am not pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant within 6 months after the trial ends.I am not using birth control and do not plan to during the study and for 6 months after.I do not have significant liver or kidney issues, low platelet counts, or high eosinophil levels.I have a history or current infection of HIV, HCV, or HBV, but not just from vaccination.I am not using or cannot use birth control during and 6 months after the study.I needed steroids for a relapse in the last 3 months.If you test positive for drugs or have a history of alcohol abuse, you cannot participate in this group of the study.I have had MS flare-ups or specific brain scan findings in the last 5 years.You are very afraid of small, enclosed spaces or are not likely to be able to complete the MRI scanning procedures.You have tested positive for illegal drugs or have a history of alcohol abuse.You have had an allergic reaction to gold in the past.
