Effect of MD1003 in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis: a Randomized Double Blind Placebo Controlled Study
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of MD1003 over placebo in the disability of patients suffering from progressive multiple sclerosis and especially those with gait impairment.
• Patient aged 18-65 years old
• Signed and dated written informed consent form in accordance with local regulations: having freely given their written informed consent to participate in the study
• Diagnosis of primary or secondary progressive MS fulfilling revised McDonald criteria (2010) and Lublin criteria (2014)
• Documented evidence of clinical disability progression within the 2 years prior to inclusion, i.e. a) progression of EDSS during the past two years of at least 1 point sustained for at least 6 months if inclusion EDSS is from 3.5 to 5.5 or at least 0.5 point increase sustained for at least 6 months if inclusion EDSS is from 6 to 6.5 or b) increase of TW25 by at least 20% in the last two years sustained for at least 6 months or c) other well-documented objective worsening validated by the Adjudication Committee
• EDSS at inclusion from 3.5 to 6.5
• TW25 < 40 seconds at inclusion visit
• Kurtzke pyramidal functional subscore ≥2 defined as minimal disability: patient complains of motor-fatigability or reduced performance in strenuous motor tasks (motor performance grade 1) and/or BMRC grade 4 in one or two muscle groups
