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.
Remote MS Care in Antwerp
Study Purpose
Current clinical follow-up of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients suffers from some challenges, as many patients indicate they want to take up a more active role in the decision-making process. However, more than half of MS patients do not consider themselves well informed about their disease. Communication between patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) has also been reported to be suboptimal, with incorrect alignment between patients and HCPs as a result and relapses going undetected. Digital telemonitoring tools could play a role in educating MS patients, allowing them to take up a more active role in the clinical decision-making process. Additionally, remote monitoring could lead to a better alignment between patient and HCPs and could ultimately even lead to a more efficient clinical workflow. In this study, the investigators will investigate an existing digital telemonitoring solution called icompanion, developed by Icometrix. icompanion is a class 1 medical device in US (Food and Drug Administration
- - FDA) and Europe (Medical Device Directive - MDD).
- - The primary objective is to evaluate the usability and acceptance of a digital remote monitoring solution for MS (icompanion).
- - The secondary objectives are: 1.
- - The tertiary objectives are: 1.

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 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. |
NCT06179758 |
|
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. |
