Trial Outcomes & Findings for Maximizing Outcome of Multiple Sclerosis Transplantation (NCT NCT03342638)

NCT ID: NCT03342638

Last Updated: 2021-01-11

Results Overview

Defined as no relapse (defined as acute neurologic deterioration occurring after engraftment and lasting more than 24 hours, accompanied by objective worsening on neurological examination that are documented by a neurologist and not explained by fever, infection, stress, heat or related pseudoexacerbation; supportive confirmation by enhancement on MRI is preferred), no disease progression (defined as a 1.0-point increase in the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) on consecutive evaluations at least 6 months apart and not due to a non-MS disease process), and no new or enhancing lesions on MRI

Measure
Control Arm
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Therapy will be performed as follows: Autologous stem cells will be infused after conditioning with cyclophosphamide, mesna, rATG (rabbit), and methylprednisolone. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) will be administered post-transplant. Cyclophosphamide: Potent immunosuppressive agent; an alkylating agent Mesna: Medication used to decrease the risk of hemorrhagic cystitis prophylaxis rATG: A predominantly lymphocyte-specific immunosuppressive agent which contains antibodies specific to the antigens commonly found on the surface of T cells Methylprednisolone: Steroid G-CSF: Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor; a glycoprotein that stimulates the bone marrow to produce granulocytes and stem cells and release them into the bloodstream Autologous Stem Cells: Infusion of participant's own stem cells
IVIg Arm
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Therapy performed as follows: Autologous stem cells will be infused after conditioning with cyclophosphamide, mesna, rATG (rabbit), and methylprednisolone. IVIg and G-CSF administered post-transplant. Cyclophosphamide:immunosuppressive agent;alkylating agent Mesna: Prophylaxis decrease for hemorrhagic cystitis rATG: lymphocyte-specific immunosuppressive agent which contains antibodies specific to the antigens found on the surface of T cells Methylprednisolone: Steroid G-CSF: Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor; a glycoprotein that stimulates the bone marrow to produce granulocytes \& stem cells and release them into the bloodstream IVIg: Immunoglobulin G (IgG) products manufactured from pooled human plasma and typically contain more than 95% unmodified IgG, which has intact Fc-dependent effector functions and only trace amounts of immunoglobulin A (IgA) or immunoglobulin M (IgM). Autologous Stem Cells: Infusion of one's own stem cells
