Neurofilaments for NEDA Assessing in MS
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Goal is to evaluate the achievement of biological NEDA as demonstrated by a drop in neurofilament levels in MS patients commencing Alemtuzumab therapy as part of their MS management.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Detailed Description
Primary
- To evaluate the achievement of NEDA using blood and CSF neurofilaments in Alemtuzumab treated patients.
Secondary
-
To assess prognosis at the end of the study based on neurofilament status.
-
To correlate neurofilament levels with clinical and MRI markers of disease activity.
-
To evaluate the effect of Alemtuzumab on the profile of other CSF, blood, urine, faeces biomarkers of inflammation, neurodegeneration, neuronal sprouting and synaptogenesis, treatment activity and metabolic activity.
