Study summary

A study of immune phenotype biomarkers in patients with Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (RMS) after treatment with 0.5mg fingolimod

Read the detailed description

This study used a 2-cohort, nonrandomized, open-label, multicenter design. Cohort 1: The first cohort was to be comprised of approximately 200 patients with RMS, who were newly prescribed commercially available fingolimod 0.5 mg/day. Cohort 2: The second cohort was to be comprised of approximately 200 RMS patients who had been on commercially available fingolimod 0.5 mg/day continuously without interruption of treatment for at least ≥ 2 years. Patients from both cohorts were recruited simultaneously from up to 125 MS centers in the United States. Both cohorts ran concurrently. The study consisted of 2 periods: Screening (up to 4 weeks) and Treatment period from Baseline (end of screening period considered as Day 1) up to 12 months with visits conducted at 3,6 and 12 months with a 14 day follow-up post treatment..

Inclusion criteria

  • Diagnosis of relapsing forms of Multiple Sclerosis
  • Patients who started commercially prescribed fingolimod therapy 0.5mg per day OR patients already on commercially prescribed fingolimod 0.5mg per day continuously for ≥ 2 years

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria (per USPI):

  • Patients who in the last 6 months experienced myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, transient ischemic stroke, decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization or Class III/IV heart failure
  • History or presence of Mobitz Type II second-degree or third-degree atrioventricular block or sick sinus syndrome, unless patient had a functioning pacemaker
  • Baseline ≥ 500 msec
  • Treatment with Class Ia or Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs
  • Patients who had a reaction to fingolimod or any of the
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

A relapse is defined as the appearance of a new neurological abnormality or worsening of previously stable or improving pre-existing neurological abnormality, separated by at least 30 days from onset of a preceding clinical demyelinating event. The abnormality must be present for at least 24 hours and occur in the absence of fever (\<37.5°C) or infection.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Sep 2017 to primary completion in Mar 2019, 17 months.

Results were first posted in Jul 2020, 1 year 4 months after primary completion. A results delay was requested in Jun 2019.

Of 36 industry-sponsored phase 4 interventional studies under Multiple Sclerosis, half reached primary completion within 29 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 19 and three quarters within 37. This study's 17 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 69 studies reached it within 34 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 59.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Oct 7, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
