Participate in a Clinical Trial
Without the participation of people with MS, it would be impossible to develop new and better therapies and other interventions.
Patient Experiences of Multiple Sclerosis (PExMS)
Study Purpose
Besides coping with the diagnosis, people with multiple sclerosis have to make complex decisions such as deciding about immunotherapies. They search not only for factual information, but also for reports of patient experiences (PEx). The investigators aim to evaluate in a randomised controlled pilot trial whether a website presenting PEx as an adjunct to factual information may help people with multiple sclerosis in their immunotherapy decision-making processes.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial Details
Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT04236544 |
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
