Primary Outcome Measures:
- Change from baseline of neuromuscular function at 12 months [Ā TimeĀ Frame:Ā Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 monthsĀ ] [Ā DesignatedĀ asĀ safetyĀ issue:Ā NoĀ ]
Neuromuscular function will be assessed using the following test:
- MS Function Composite (MSFC), comprising the; timed 25 Foot Walk, 9 Hole Peg Test (9HPT), and Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT);
- Jebsen Hand Function Test (JHFT);
- Grip, tip and key pinch strength;
- Symbol digit modalities test (SDMT);
- Sloan low-contrast letter visual acuity (SLCVA);
- 6-minute walk test (6MWT);
- Proportion of Participants with Serious and Non-Serious Adverse Events [Ā TimeĀ Frame:Ā Up to 12 monthsĀ ] [Ā DesignatedĀ asĀ safetyĀ issue:Ā YesĀ ]
Safety assessments will be conducted at each study visit and include; characterization of the type, incidence, severity, timing, seriousness, and relationship to treatment of adverse events (AEs); effects on vital signs and clinical laboratory parameters; changes on electrocardiograms (ECGs); and at 3 months and 12 months – the number of gadolinium-enhancing lesions on cranial MRI assessments.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Change from baseline of disability and health status at 12 months [Ā TimeĀ Frame:Ā Baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 monthsĀ ] [Ā DesignatedĀ asĀ safetyĀ issue:Ā NoĀ ]
Disability and health status will be assessed using the following assessments and patient reported outcomes:
- Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS)
- Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) including;
- SF-36 and its components;
- MS Impact Scale (MSIS-29);
- Neurological Fatigue Index for MS (NFI-MS);
- Brief Pain Inventory (BPI).
- Change from baseline of neurodegeneration by assessing changes in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) markers at 12 months [Ā TimeĀ Frame:Ā Baseline, 3, and 12 monthsĀ ] [Ā DesignatedĀ asĀ safetyĀ issue:Ā NoĀ ]
Disease activity and neurodegeneration will be assessing using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) markers including lesions, whole brain atrophy (WBA) and Magnetization Transfer Ratio (MTR).
- Change from baseline of activity of immune biomarkers in serum [Ā TimeĀ Frame:Ā Up to 1 yearĀ ] [Ā DesignatedĀ asĀ safetyĀ issue:Ā NoĀ ]
The effect on immune biomarkers will include the analysis of serum for some or all of the following markers: IP-10 (CXCL10), MCP-1 (CCL2), MIG (CXCL9), IL-8 (CXCL8), IFNĪ³, Neopterin, IL-1RA, sTNF-R, IL-12/23, p40, CD62E (E-selectin), CD54 (ICAM-1), and CD106 (VCAM-1).
- Change from baseline of activity of immune biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) [Ā TimeĀ Frame:Ā Up to 12 monthsĀ ] [Ā DesignatedĀ asĀ safetyĀ issue:Ā NoĀ ]
The effect on immune biomarkers will include the analysis of CSF for some or all of the following markers: IP-10 (CXCL10), MCP-1 (CCL2), MIG (CXCL9), IL-8 (CXCL8), IFNĪ³, Neopterin, IL-1RA, sTNF-R, IL-12/23, p40, CD62E (E-selectin), CD54 (ICAM-1), and CD106 (VCAM-1).
- Change from baseline in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC) immune biomarkers [Ā TimeĀ Frame:Ā Up to 12 monthsĀ ] [Ā DesignatedĀ asĀ safetyĀ issue:Ā NoĀ ]
Some or all of these biomarkers may be assayed ex vivo: PBMC expression of mRNA encoding proteins involved in myeloid differentiation and immune regulatory function (e.g. VEGF, Arginine, INOS, IL-10, MMP9); PBMC myeloid subset production of IL-10, TGFĪ², IL-6, TNFĪ±, IL-1Ī², IFNĪ³, IL-17, and GM-CSF in response to stimulation with LPS, LPS/IFNĪ³ or MIS416 ex vivo; and PBMC subset analysis of myeloid and dendritic cell subsets for immunoregulatory cell subset markers.
