Research / Clinical Trials

Brenda Whitehead, CCRP, Kimp Puccio, LPN CRC and Lisney Dunlap, CMA CRC
Our practice offers clinical trials which help determine whether newly developed treatments are safe and effective in treating Multiple Sclerosis. These studies are important research tools for developing new treatment options for this chronic disease. Clinical trials also provide patients with access to new treatment options and new therapies that are not offered to the general population.
As new technologies and therapeutic options become available, Hope Neurology Multiple Sclerosis Center utilizes clinical trials to provide innovative treatment options to our patients.
Clinical research studies provide patients with new medications and access to comprehensive disease management. By working closely with our pharmaceutical sponsors, we strive to improve the health, hope and well-being of our patients.
For more information on any of our studies, please call 865-218-6222 and ask to speak with Kim Puccio, Sydney Brawner, or Jada Thomas or email us at hnresearch@hopeneuro.com .

Part 1: The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of natalizumab extended interval dosing (EID) in participants who have previously been treated with natalizumab standard interval dosing (SID) for at least 12 months, in relation to continued SID treatment. The secondary objectives is to evaluate relapse-based clinical efficacy measures, disability worsening, additional Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-lesion efficacy measures and safety of EID in participants who have previously been treated with natalizumab SID for at least 12 months, in relation to continued SID treatment.
Part 2: The primary objective is to evaluate participant preference for subcutaneous (SC) versus intravenous (IV) route of natalizumab administration. The secondary objectives is to evaluate treatment satisfaction, drug preparation and administration time, safety and immunogenicity, efficacy and characterize pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) drug preparation and administration time of SC versus IV routes of natalizumab administration.

The primary objectives of the study are to determine the incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) in participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) in routine clinical practice and to assess the overall long-term clinical effectiveness of Plegridy in participants with relapsing forms of MS in routine clinical practice. The secondary objectives of this study in this study population are to describe Plegridy prescription and utilization adherence patterns in routine clinical practice; to assess the specific long-term clinical effectiveness of Plegridy in participants with relapsing forms of MS in routine clinical practice; to monitor the safety and tolerability of Plegridy in routine clinical practice by assessing the incidence of adverse events (AEs) of flu-like symptoms (FLS), injection site reactions (ISRs), and AEs (including laboratory abnormalities) leading to treatment discontinuation; to assess the effect of FLS on participant-reported effectiveness of, and satisfaction with, prophylactic management using a FLS-Visual Analog Scale (FLS-VAS); to evaluate the change in health-related quality of life (HRQoL), FLS, FLS-VAS, healthcare resource consumption, and treatment adherence over time.
