Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Neuroprotective Effects of Polyphenon E in MS; Phase II (NCT NCT01451723)

NCT ID: NCT01451723

Last Updated: 2014-03-14

Results Overview

The rate of change will be calculated using all the time points available )baseline, 6 and 12 months) using a mixed model analysis with the Log NAA as the dependent variable and water content, %grey matter, %white matter, %CSF and % lesion volume as covariates. All the voxels available for each subject where estimates have a SD \<30 will be used. A spatial anysotropic exponential covariance structure will be used.

Polyphenon E 400mg Twice a Day
Two capsules of Polyphenon E containing 200mg of EGCG each taken twice a day with food. Polyphenon E: Polyphenon E is a standardized green tea extract. For this study we will use capsules of Polyphenon E containing 200 mg of EGCG per capsule. Subjects will take two capsules twice a day with food.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: No subjects completed either the six or twelve month point so no data was available for analysis.

The rate of change will be calculated using all the time points available )baseline, 6 and 12 months) using a mixed model analysis with the Log NAA as the dependent variable and water content, %grey matter, %white matter, %CSF and % lesion volume as covariates. All the voxels available for each subject where estimates have a SD \<30 will be used. A spatial anysotropic exponential covariance structure will be used.
