The purpose of this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study is to determine the efficacy of frexalimab in delaying the disability progression and the safety up to 36 months double-blind administration of study intervention compared to placebo in male and female participants with nrSPMS (aged 18 to 60 years at the time of enrollment). People diagnosed with nrSPMS are eligible for enrollment as long as they meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. Study details include: * This event-driven study will end when the target number of 6-month cCDP events is achieved, and the study is expected to last 43 months from randomization of the first participant to the common study end. * The number of scheduled visits will be up to 25 (including 3 follow-up visits) with a visit frequency of every month for the first 6 months and then every 3 months.

This is a Phase 3 extension, global, multicenter study to assess the long-term safety and tolerability of tolebrutinib in adult participants (aged ≥18 years) with RMS, PPMS, or NRSPMS who were previously enrolled in the Phase 2b LTS (LTS16004) or 1 of the 4 Phase 3 tolebrutinib pivotal trials (GEMINI 1 \[EFC16033\], GEMINI 2 \[EFC16034\], HERCULES \[EFC16645\], or PERSEUS \[EFC16035\]).

Our overall objective is to obtain an initial assessment of the potential value of using \[18F\]3F4AP for imaging demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis: * Aim 1) Assess the safety of \[18F\]3F4AP in healthy volunteers and subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS). Hypothesis 1: Administration of \[18F\]3F4AP will result in no changes in vitals or other adverse events. * Aim 2) Assess the pharmacokinetics of a bolus infusion of \[18F\]3F4AP in humans including healthy volunteers and MS patients. Hypothesis 2: the pharmacokinetics of \[18F\]3F4AP at the whole brain level will be similar in controls and MS subjects. The kinetics in demyelinated lesions will be slower than in healthy control areas. * Aim 3) Assess the reproducibility of \[18F\]3F4AP in humans. Hypothesis 3: the test/retest variability of \[18F\]3F4AP within the same subject will be lower than 10%. * Aim 4) Correlate MR brain images with \[18F\]3F4AP PET brain images. Hypothesis 4A: all the lesions seen on the MRI will show increased signal (VT or SUV) on the PET images. Hypothesis 4B: some of the lesions on the MRI will show increased signal (VT or SUV) on the PET but not all. * Aim 5) Correlate \[18F\]3F4AP PET signal with neuropsychological testing in people with MS. Hypothesis 5: increased PET signal (VT or SUV) will correlate with impaired Single Digit Modality Test (SDMT) scores. * Aim 6) Correlate \[18F\]3F4AP PET signal with EDSS score in people with MS. Hypothesis 6: increased PET signal (VT or SUV) will correlate with higher EDSS scores. Read Less

iConquerMS™ is a research initiative developed by and for people with multiple sclerosis (MS) to contribute their health data and ideas to advance and accelerate research into MS. iConquerMS welcomes adults with MS and others interested in advancing MS research, children and teens with MS and their family members (via iConquerMS Kids \& Teens) and MS caregivers (via iConquerMS Caregivers) to participate.

This study will evaluate if relapsing-remitting MS patients that have not had a relapse in the past year would benefit from a switch to ofatumumab versus staying on their continued current therapy. This study will also look at whether an elevated serum neurofilament light (NfL) level predicts enhanced benefit from a switch to ofatumumab. Read Less

Foralumab is a human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody being developed for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. The goal of this Phase 2a, randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled, multicenter dose-ranging study is to evaluate the use of nasal foralumab in patients with non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS). The primary objectives that this study aims to answer are: 1. To determine the safety and tolerability of 50 μg/dose and 100 μg/dose of foralumab nasal compared to placebo 2. To investigate the effect of foralumab relative to placebo on the change from baseline \[18F\]PBR06-positron emission tomography (PET) scans for microglial activation, after 12 weeks (3) months of study treatment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if combining a medication that can help improve walking in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) with a physical therapy program is better for improving walking than either treatment alone. The main questions this study will answer are: * Does combining dalfampridine with physical therapy improve mobility more than physical therapy without concurrent dalfampridine? * Is the combined treatment associated with better outcomes than the medication (dalfampridine) on its own? * How do the individual treatments (dalfampridine, physical therapy) alone compare to each other? Participants with MS-related mobility deficits will: * Receive 6 weeks of dalfampridine treatment to assess the effects of this treatment. * After stopping the medication for 2 weeks, the investigators will re-evaluate walking, then randomly assign individuals to a 6-week physical therapy program. * Half of the participants will receive physical therapy while resuming dalfampridine treatment. The other half of the participants will receive physical therapy without resuming the medication. Researchers will compare the combination treatment group (medication plus physical therapy) to the physical therapy only group to see if the combined treatment improves walking-related function. Approximately 3 months after finishing the physical therapy program, participants will undergo a final evaluation to see if the treatment effects have been maintained. Read Less

This is a multi-center prospective rater-masked (blinded) randomized controlled trial of 156 participants, comparing the treatment strategy of Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) to the treatment strategy of Best Available Therapy (BAT) for treatment-resistant relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants will be randomized at a 1 to 1 (1:1) ratio. All participants will be followed for 72 months after randomization (Day 0, Visit 0). Read Less

This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled study of OCR treatment-discontinuation in patients with early RMS. All eligible participants will be initiated on OCR using the standard approved administration schedule of two 300 mg infusions separated by 14 days (i.e., Days 0 and 14) for a total of 600 mg, followed by 600 mg infusions at Month 6,12, 18, and 24. At Month 24, participants will be randomized (2:1) to one of two Arms with randomized treatment beginning at Month 30: Arm 1: placebo infusions every 6 months; or Arm 2: OCR infusions every 6 months. The treatment period will be for a total of 48 months. Read Less
