What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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

This study is testing whether monthly blood tests for a nerve damage marker (neurofilament light chain) can detect hidden disease activity in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) earlier than standard yearly MRI scans. The goal is to reduce the need for gadolinium-based contrast agents in MRI and allow faster treatment adjustments. The study will compare 84 participants on monthly blood monitoring against standard care.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
monthly blood test for neurofilament light chain (pNfL)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a simpler, safer way to monitor MS and catch silent disease activity early, allowing faster treatment changes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study. The blood test may not reliably detect all hidden activity, and results may not change long-term outcomes.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 84 people

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient with RRMS according to 2024 McDonald's criteria. * Less than 10 years from disease onset. * Active RRMS (EDA) observed during the last 24 months: relapse and/or NELs and/or CELs as compared to a previous MRI performed within 24 months (± 3 months). * Current MET (IFN, GA, TE, fumarates) for less than 24 months. * Standard MRI follow-up scan performed less than 90 days before inclusion. * Clinically stable disease for at least 30 days. * Patients included in observational studies and cohorts (OFSEP, PROMISE …) will be eligible for inclusion in MoMo-NfL. * For women with reproductive potential: negative pregnancy test at the time of inclusion and use of an effective method to avoid pregnancy for the duration of the trial. * Patients able to adhere to the study visit schedule. * Patient must have signed and given the consent. * Patient affiliated or beneficiary of a health insurance plan. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or breastfeeding woman. * Patient unable to perform brain and/or spinal cord MRI scans. * Patient not willing to perform monthly blood punctures. * Patient treated with HET (S1P agonists, natalizumab, ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, rituximab, alemtuzumab, cladribine, mitoxantrone). * Patient with a relapse within 6 months before inclusion. * Patient with CELs within 3 months before inclusion. * Patient with progressive MS. * Patient unable to sign the consent. * It is impossible to correctly inform the patient. * Patient already participating in therapeutic research or in an exclusion period. The exclusion period corresponds to five half-lives (t1/2) of the experimental drug. * Patient under judicial protection, or is an adult under guardianship. * Female patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding or of reproductive potential who are not willing to employ effective birth control for the duration of the trial.
