Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug, SAR441344, to see if it can reduce the number of new active brain lesions in people with multiple sclerosis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-55 with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS), who've had at least one relapse in the past year or a new brain lesion recently. They must weigh between 45 to 120 kg, have a BMI of 18.0 to 35.0, and agree to use contraception according to local guidelines.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests SAR441344's effectiveness on reducing new active brain lesions in RMS patients, compared against placebos. It involves intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) injections, along with MRI scans using contrast agents.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system due to SAR441344 being a humanized monoclonal antibody; however, specific side effects are not listed but will be monitored for safety and tolerability.

Answered by AI

For what kind of research participants is this trial most suited?

"This trial seeks 129 individuals with multiple sclerosis who are between 18 and 55 years of age. To be considered eligible, candidates must have a body weight in the range of 45 to 120 kilograms (inclusive) and a BMI ranging from 18.0 to 35.0 kg/m2 (inclusive). Furthermore, both men and women involved in this study ought to comply with local regulations regarding contraception methods while taking part in clinical studies."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment in this experiment currently available?

"The clinicaltrials.gov page for this trial indicates that it is no longer recruiting patients; the original post date was June 7th 2021 and the last update occurred on October 10th 2022. However, there are currently 549 other trials that still need participants to join them in their research endeavours."

Answered by AI

Is this medical experiment being undertaken in numerous health centers across North America?

"Seven sites are participating in the trial, including Milwaukee (8400003), Phoenix (8400007) and Gatineau (8400006). Additionally, there are four other recruitment locations."

Answered by AI

Has SAR441344 SC been granted authorization from the FDA?

"Due to the lack of efficacy data, SAR441344 SC was given a safety score 2 on our scale. This assessment is based off the fact that this trial is currently in phase two, meaning there are some indications of safety but no evidence demonstrating effectiveness yet."
