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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 early-phase study tests whether ublituximab, a drug for relapsing multiple sclerosis, can improve walking function and reduce fall risk. Twenty-five participants will receive the drug for 48 weeks, with walking, disability, and thinking tests before, during, and after treatment. They will also be exposed to a simulated slip on a treadmill to see how well they recover.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ublituximab
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that ublituximab improves walking and reduces falls in people with relapsing MS.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-phase study with only 25 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is designed to measure walking changes, not to prove long-term disease control.

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Ability to provide written, informed consent and to be compliant with the schedule of protocol assessments. 2. Ages between 18 and 55 years old at screening. 3. Clinically confirmed active, relapsing forms of MS based on the revised McDonald criteria. 4. Can walk at least 25 feet independently with or without assistive devices at screening. 5. Can stand independently for at least 30 seconds. 6. Not pregnant at screening and throughout the study. * A negative urine or serum pregnancy test must be available for premenopausal women and for women \< 12 months after the onset of menopause at screening, unless they have undergone surgical sterilization. * Women of childbearing potential must agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use one method of contraception with a failure rate of \< 1% per year or a barrier method supplemented with spermicide. Contraception must continue for the duration of study treatment and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. * A woman is considered to be of childbearing potential if she is postmenarcheal, has not reached a postmenopausal state (≥ 12 continuous months of amenorrhea with no identified cause other than menopause), and has not undergone surgical sterilization (removal of the ovaries and/or uterus). * Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of \< 1% per year include bilateral tube ligation, male sterilization, established hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices. * The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient. Periodic abstinence and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. * Examples of barrier methods supplemented with the use of spermicide include male or female condom, vaginal ring, cap, diaphragm, or sponge. 7. No other neurological conditions and recent musculoskeletal injuries. 8. Can read and understand English. 9. No significant cognitive impairment. Exclusion Criteria: Basic Exclusion Criteria 1. History of MS types other than relapsing MS at screening (such as primary-progressive MS, inactive SPMS). 2. History of life-threatening infusion reaction on ublituximab, any of its ingredients, or prior anti-clusters of differentiation 20 (CD20) therapy. 3. Hypersensitive to any of the ingredients of ublituximab. 4. Do not understand English. Exclusions Related to General Health 5. Pregnancy or lactation. 6. Have any other known neurological diseases which may mimic MS, including but not limited to: Neuromyelitis optica, Lyme disease, untreated vitamin B12 deficiency, neurosarcoidosis, and cerebrovascular disorders. 7.
