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.
Serum Neurofilament Light in Multiple Sclerosis
Study Purpose
This prospective cohort study is designed to characterize the utility of sNfL as a biomarker in clinical practice. This study also aims to understand how access to sNfL measures affects patient and clinician knowledge of their disease status and capture how this may have the potential to influence clinical decision-making. Level of disability, cognitive changes, fatigue, depression, and quality of life to detect clinical and subclinical worsening will be measured. While there is strong evidence in support of sNfL as a potential biomarker, literature regarding the application of sNfL in a real-world clinical practice setting is lacking. Understanding the utility of this test to clinicians and patients as a biomarker of MS disease activity is essential. Additionally, the optimum sampling frequency in clinical practice should be investigated to further elucidate its practicality. Given recent advances in the treatment of MS, there is increasing need for convenient and accessible measures of treatment efficacy.

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. |
NCT06282081 |
|
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. |
