A study comparing the efficacy and safety of Frexalimab versus Teriflunomide in adult participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis.
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
The investigational drug Frexalimab may help limit the abnormal immune response against brain tissue. The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of Frexalimab in reducing relapse frequency and slowing the progression of disability in RMS over time, compared to one of the usual treatments with Teriflunomide. Despite the disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) approved for relapsing multiple sclerosis, there remains a need for additional effective therapies. Current therapies cannot guarantee long-term suppression of inflammatory activity in multiple sclerosis (MS), including relapse and new lesion control via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). While some medications delay the progression of relapsing multiple sclerosis, the disease can still not be fully controlled, and it impacts daily activities and well-being.

Malattie studiate
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease. It affects the central nervous system. In patients with an autoimmune disease, such as multiple sclerosis, the body's immune system attacks brain tissue, causing your symptoms (as well as changes in specific tests such as magnetic resonance imaging -MRI-). Symptoms are varied, and the courses differ. It often begins with relapses and symptom-free phases, later the disease progresses to a secondary progressive course. However, there are also patients whose course is progressive from the outset. Multiple sclerosis is not curable, but the disease can be treated. The main treatment goals include reducing relapse frequency and slowing the progression of disability in RMS over time.
(BASEC)
1- Participants must be between 18 and 55 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form. 2- The participant must have been diagnosed with RMS according to the 2017 revised McDonald diagnostic criteria. 3- The participant has an EDSS score ≤ 5.5 at the first visit (screening visit). (BASEC)
Criteri di esclusione
1- The participant has been diagnosed with primary progressive MS according to the 2017 revised McDonald diagnostic criteria or secondary progressive MS without activity. 2- The participant has a history of infections or is potentially at risk for infection: • Known history of T-lymphocyte or T-lymphocyte receptor vaccination, transplantation (including solid organ transplantation, stem cells, and bone marrow) and/or anti-rejection therapy. • The participant has received a live (attenuated) vaccine within three months prior to the first treatment visit (including, but not limited to, Varicella-Zoster, oral Polio, and nasal Influenza vaccines). • The participant has at the screening visit a lymphocyte count below the lower limit of normal (Lower Limit of Normal, LLN). • A history of diagnosis of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) or imaging findings suggestive of PML on MRI at the screening visit. • Known history of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (e.g., known positive HIV test or information from a conversation with the participant). • A history of active or latent tuberculosis (TB). Severe systemic viral, bacterial, or fungal infection (e.g., pneumonia, pyelonephritis); infection requiring hospitalization or intravenous antibiotic administration, or significant chronic viral, bacterial, or fungal infection (e.g., osteomyelitis) 30 days prior to and during the screening visit. • Participants with a history of invasive opportunistic infections, including, but not limited to, histoplasmosis, listeriosis, coccidioidomycosis, candidiasis, Pneumocystis jirovecii, and aspergillosis. • Fever within 28 days after the screening visit (≥ 38 °C; however, if this is due to a brief and mild viral infection in the upper respiratory tract, the participant may be included at the discretion of the investigator). • Other active infections that, in the opinion of the investigator, would negatively affect participation or administration of the investigational drug in this study. 3- Presence of psychiatric disorders or substance abuse demonstrated by: • History of psychiatric illness, behavioral abnormalities, or depression requiring hospitalization within two years prior to the screening visit. • Documented history of a suicide attempt or suicidal thoughts in the six months prior to the screening visit or if, in the opinion of the investigator, the participant is at risk for a suicide attempt. • Active alcohol consumption or history of alcohol or drug abuse within 1 year prior to the first screening visit.
