The city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, currently has 14 active clinical trials seeking participants for Multiple Sclerosis research studies.
Nivolumab in Treating Patients With Autoimmune Disorders and Advanced, Metastatic, or Unresectable Cancer
Recruiting
This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of nivolumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with autoimmune disorders and cancer that has spread to other places in the body or cannot removed by surgery. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

A Study of Nasal Foralumab in Non-Active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Recruiting
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 nasa... Read More

Best Available Therapy Versus Autologous Hematopoetic Stem Cell Transplant for Multiple Sclerosis (BEAT-MS)
Recruiting
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).

Obesity and Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis
Recruiting
Obesity is one possible contributor to severity of multiple sclerosis and progression of the disease. We already know that obesity is a risk determinant for acquiring MS, yet the impact of obesity on pediatric MS disease expression and course is unknown. This study will evaluate the relationship between obesity, obesity-derived inflammatory mediators, and imaging metrics of MS severity in children. Understanding how childhood obesity contributes to MS severity/progression may yield fundamental i... Read More

Immunoregulatory Effect of Microparticle Delivered STING Agonist in the Control of Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Recruiting
Microparticles (MPs) as a mode of therapeutic delivery can selectively deliver immunomodulatory treatment to the phagocytic cells, particularly dendritic cells (DCs), inducing their tolerogenic phenotype and function and T regulatory (Treg) cell expansion. The study will characterize the in vitro response of cGAMP immunomodulator incapsulated microparticles on the capacity of DCs and Tregs to regulate the inflammatory response.

Deficient T Regulatory Cell (Treg) Function in Patients With Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis
Recruiting
The purpose of this research is to find out how the T regulatory (Treg) cells control autoimmune response in multiple sclerosis. The investigators will identify Treg molecular markers and changes in function in patients with relapse remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The investigators plan to study T regulatory immune cells in the blood of RRMS patients and control subjects to examine how Treg immune cells' deficient function may be involved in the development of mulitple sclerosis.
