Via MSRC
A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Study of Aimspro in Multiple Sclerosis
We would like to invite you to take part in a research study. To help you decide if you would like to volunteer please take time to read the following information carefully.
The aim of this trial is to find out if regular Aimspro injections provide a suitable therapy for bladder symptoms in patients suffering from MS.
To date, there have been no successful trials of new treatments in the secondary progressive type of multiple sclerosis (SPMS). We have reason to believe, however, that the administration of a special preparation of goat serum antibodies (Aimspro) to people with SPMS can be beneficial. We have data that suggest that the drug may benefit, particularly the bladder symptoms associated with this condition.
We are conducting this trial at the Royal Free Hospital NHS Trust in Hampstead. We are looking for volunteers with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis to take part in this trial.
Please check to see if you fulfil ALL of the following criteria:
1. 18 years or older.
2. Have clinically definite SPMS.
3. Be ambulant, walking aids allowed. (you may use a wheelchair some of the time)
4. Urinary frequency of greater than or equal to 8 times per 24-hours
5. Have a record of MRI brain or spinal cord abnormalities consistent with the diagnosis of MS.
6. Have never taken Aimspro before
7. Have had no relapses in the past 6 months
8. Are not planning to become pregnant in the next year
9. Live in London or surrounding areas
If you answered YES to ALL of the questions above, you may be eligible to take part in our trial.
You shall be remunerated for any transport costs you incur while coming in for your visits. Please call Dr. Shozab Khan at 07784493128.
Note: You must fulfil ALL of the above criteria and live in London. Volunteers from areas further away will not be considered. I apologize for any disappointment in advance. _________________ The Multiple Sclerosis Resource Centre
