Brain scans to reveal if new MS drug quietly calms inflammation

NCT ID NCT07758270

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 looks at whether the experimental drug remibrutinib can reduce inflammation in the brain and spinal cord of people with relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants, aged 40 to 70, will have PET scans, MRIs, and blood and spinal fluid samples taken before and six months after treatment. The goal is to see if remibrutinib changes immune activity compared with the standard drug ocrelizumab, and whether these changes can be measured to predict disease progression.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
remibrutinib
What this could lead to
If remibrutinib reduces brain inflammation in MS, it could become a new treatment option that slows disease progression and helps predict response.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early imaging study, not a large trial. It may not show clear differences, and results may not predict long-term outcomes or guarantee effectiveness.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

The exclusion criteria of the parent study are adapted and inherited under this section (See parent study protocol section 5.2). In addition, the following exclusion criteria apply: * Hypersensitivity to \[11C\]-DPA-713 or any of its excipients * Contraindications to PET or MRI (e.g. certain incompatible electronic medical devices, inability to lie still for extended periods) that make it potentially unsafe for the individual to participate * Presence of a low affinity binding TSPO polymorphism. * Any condition that, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator or his designee, could increase the risk to the participant or limits their ability to participate (e.g., liver or kidney disease, advanced cancer) * Current or recent (within 12 months prior to screening) participation in research studies involving radioactive agents such that the total research-related radiation dose to the participant in any given year would exceed the limits set forth in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (C

Inclusion Criteria * Capable of providing written informed consent for volunteering to undergo research procedures. * Male or female, any race * Age between 40 and 70 years of age, inclusive * Diagnosis of RMS according to revised 2017 McDonald criteria at screening 15 * EDSS score of 0 to 6.5 (inclusive) at screening * Treated with ocrelizumab according to routine clinical practice and at standard dose for at least 18 months. The last administration of ocrelizumab must have occurred within 5 to 9 months prior to randomization. * Neurologically stable within 30 days prior to screening, including no MS relapse during this period. * Suitable to be switched to remibrutinib based on physician judgement or patient preference.
