Study summary

This is a 24-week phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter safety study comparing the tolerance profile of olesoxime (495 mg, od) when administered on top of Interferon beta in patients with stable Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis. Patients will be randomly allocated to olesoxime (495 mg, od) or placebo in a 1:1 ratio.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to characterize the general safety and tolerability of olesoxime (495 mg, od), compared to placebo when administered in combination with Interferon beta over a 24-week treatment period in patients with stable Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis.

The secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of multicenter protocols for measurement of neurodegeneration and remyelination by MRI as well as the plasma exposure to olesoxime (495 mg, od).

MRI will be performed to all patients to assess effects of olesoxime on brain inflammation as well as to assess measures of brain atrophy, neuronal damage and myelination status at Baseline, 12 weeks and 24 weeks.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety criteria

    Cumulative incidence of adverse events/serious adverse events (i.e. total number per patient) as assessed by ongoing monitoring.

    Time frame: The primary endpoint of this study will be the cumulative incidence of AE/SAE assessed by ongoing monitoring at week 24 (day 168)

Secondary outcomes

  1. MRI Parameters

    1. Number of Gadolinium-enhancing lesions on T1-weighted images 2. Number of new or enlarged lesions on T2-weighted images

    Time frame: Baseline (Visit 0), Week 12 (Visit 2) and Week 24 (Visit 3/Final Visit)

Other outcomes

  1. Exploratory MRI Parameters

    Exploratory Endpoints: The following parameters will be assessed in terms of feasibility and reproducibility in a multicenter setting: 3\. Whole brain atrophy volume assessed by 3D-T1-weighted images. 4. Demyelination and remyelination processes assessed by Diffusion Tensor Imaging. 5\. Remyelination processes assessed by Magnetization Transfer Ratio. 6. Neuroaxonal damage assessed by sodium 23 imaging in one center.

    Time frame: Baseline (Visit 0), Week 12 (Visit 2) and Week 24 (Visit 3/Final Visit)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 22, 2016, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
