NCT ID NCT03981003

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

The investigators hypothesize that serum neurofilament-light chain (NfL) levels can provide information about the level of activity and progression of Multiple Sclerosis at different stages and landmarks of the disease. In addition, Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) has also been identified as another serum biomarker of disability in MS.

Who is studied

The study population is composed of consecutive patients over 15 years of age, of both sexes, recruited during consultations for a CIS, RRMS or progressive MS at the Neurology department of 30 OFSEP centres and of Nîmes and Nantes University Hospitals. The patients recruited will have an EDSS score comprised between 0 - 7.0.

Inclusion Criteria: * The patient has been correctly informed. * The patient must have given their informed and signed consent. * The patient must be insured or beneficiary of a health insurance plan. * The patient is at least (≥)15 years old. * The patient has MS according to diagnosis criteria (Thompson et al. 2017) and: * Participates to the OFSEP-HD cohort (ancillary study); * Has a Expanded Disability Status Scale score comprised between 0 - 7.0; * With or without Disease Modifying Drug; * For Work Package 3: patients enrolled in any OFSEP-HD centre that meet landmark criteria for an active MS (relapse, or Expanded Disability Status Scale progression, or active MRI) during follow-up; * For Work Package 4: patients with a stable disease enrolled in OFSEP-HD study in Nîmes or Nantes University Hospitals. Exclusion Criteria: * Within the past three months, the patient has participated in another interventional study that may interfere with the results or conclusions of this study. * The patient is in an exclusion period determined by a previous study. * The patient is under judicial protection. * The patient refuses to sign the consent. * It is impossible to correctly inform the patient (inability to understand the study, language problem). * The patient is pregnant or breast-feeding. * The patient is under 15 years old. * Inability to answer questionnaires. * Clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) that does not meet the criteria of MS. * Radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS). * Patient with Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.
