  • History of alcohol or drug abuse within 1 year prior

PERSEUS EFC16035

 

Title: A Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, efficacy and safety study comparing SAR442168 to placebo in participants with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PERSEUS)

Purpose: To determine the efficacy of SAR442168 compared to placebo in delaying disability progression in PPMS

Chance of Placebo: 67% chance of receiving SAR442168, 33% chance of receiving placebo

Visit Schedule: Study duration of up to 48 months with 26 onsite visits


Key Inclusion Criteria

  • Participant must be between 18-55 years of age inclusive

Title: A Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, efficacy and safety study comparing SAR442168 to placebo in participants with nonrelapsing secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (HERCULES)

Purpose: To determine the efficacy of SAR442168 compared to placebo in delaying disability progression in non-relapsing secondary progressive multiple sclerosis

Chance of Placebo: 67% chance of receiving SAR442168, 33% chance of receiving placebo

Visit Schedule: Study duration of up to 48 months with 26 onsite visits


Key Inclusion Criteria

  • Participant must be between 18-60 years of age inclusive
  • Previous diagnosis of Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis and current diagnosis of non-relapsing Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.
  • Female participant not pregnant or breastfeeding

FENTREPID GN41791

Title: A Phase III Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of fenebrutinib compared with ocrelizumab in adult patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis

Purpose: To evaluate the safety efficacy of fenebrutinib compared with (Ocrevus) ocrelizumab in patients with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS)

Chance of Placebo: No chance of placebo. Patient will be receiving active fenebrutinib and placebo Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) or active Ocrevus (ocrelizumab) and placebo fenebrutinub. Patients will have to take daily oral tablets (fenebrutinib or placebo) as well as IV infusions (ocrelizumab or placebo).

Visit Schedule: The study is approximately 4 and a half to 7 years long. There is an optional Open- label Extension.


Key Inclusion Criteria

  • Age18-65 years
  • A diagnosis of Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS)

Key Exclusion Criteria

  • Any infections
  • History of cancer within 10 years
  • Previous use of Ocrevus (ocrelizumab)within 6 months, and treatment discontinuation was not motivated by safety reasons or lack of being effective.
  • Previous use of Tysabri (natalizumab) for more than 1 year and within 6 months of randomization

 

 

Parkinson's Disease

PRISM NLY01-PD-1


Title
: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of 36 weeks treatment with NLY01 in Early-Stage Parkinson’s Disease (PD).

Purpose: To assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of NLY01 in the early, untreated PD population along with the potential beneficial effects of NLY01 on clinical features of PD

Chance of Placebo: NLY01 is being studied at two different dose levels, given subcutaneously. You will have a 2 in 3 chance of receiving the investigational drug and a 1 in 3 chance of receiving placebo. This means you have a higher chance of receiving the investigational drug.

Visit Schedule: The study will last approximately 12 months. Including the screening visit, there will be approximately 10 on site visits and 5 telephone visits over a 12 month period. On-site visits typically last 1.5-5 hours on average.


Key Inclusion Criteria

  • Age 30-80
  • Diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease

Key Exclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosis of PD for more than 5 years before screening
  • Current treatment with levodopa, pramipexole(Mirapex®, Mirapex ER®), ropinirole(Requip®), rotigotine(Neupro®), rasagiline(Azilect®), amantadine(Gocovri®), and/or entacapone(Comtan®)
  • History of thyroid malignancy, pancreatitis, or Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes

Padova BN42358


Title
: A phase IIB, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous prasinezumab in participants with early Parkinson’s disease.

Purpose: To investigate the treatment effect of prasinezumab relative to placebo on time to clinical disease progression in subjects with early Parkinson’s disease.

Chance of Placebo: You will have a 50% (1 in 2) chance of receiving study drug and a 50% (1 in 2) chance of receiving placebo.

Visit Schedule: On average, the visits occur once monthly and last between 2.5 to 5 hours. Study duration is at least 76 weeks for all participants and will continue until a minimum of 248 participants experience a > 5-point worsening in MDS-UPDRS Part III score.


Key Inclusion Criteria

  • Age 50-85 years
  • A diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease for at least 6 months to maximum 3 years at screening
  • Monotherapy treatment with MAO-B inhibitors (up to 1 mg rasagiline per day, or up to 10 mg selegiline per day) or up to 450 mg L-Dopa per day given for at least 6 months, with stable doses for 3 months prior to baseline

Key Exclusion Criteria

  • History of Parkinson’s Disease-related freezing episodes or falls
  • History of malignancy within 5 years prior to screening, except for appropriately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non-melanoma skin carcinoma, non-metastatic prostate cancer, or Stage I uterine cancer
