What it found

Still running

No result yet.

What was tested

Treatment tested

  • ACT-1004-1239

Placebo

  • ACT-1004-1239 matching placebo

What it measured

Main measures

  • Change from baseline to Week 24 in myelin water fraction (MWF) of the corpus callosum

    Myelin repair

Other measures (6)

  • Change from baseline to Week 24 in visual evoked potential (VEP) P100 latency

    Myelin repair
  • Concentrations of an undisclosed molecule (commercially confidential information) in CSF at Week 12 and at Week 24, normalized to labeled body water at Week 4

    Blood or spinal fluid markers
  • Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs), serious AEs, and AEs of special interest (e.g., suicidal ideation and/or behavior based on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale [C-SSRS©])

    Safety
  • AEs leading to premature discontinuation of trial intervention

  • Change from baseline to all assessed time points during the trial in: – vital signs – body weight – laboratory variables – electrocardiogram (ECG)

    Safety
  • Treatment-emergent marked abnormalities for: – vital signs – clinical laboratory variables – ECG

    Safety

Exclusion criteria

- Inability to comply with MRI scanning or undergo lumbar punctures - Known history or presence of other neurologic or systemic autoimmune disorders that are assessed by the investigator to potentially interfere with the collection of data or safety of the participant - History of cancer within the last 5 years, including solid tumors and hematological malignancies (except basal cell, in situ squamous cell carcinomas of the skin, and in situ carcinoma of the cervix of the uterus that have been excised and resolved) - Active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial infection or any major episode of infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with intravenous antibiotics within 4 weeks prior to Screening or with oral antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to Screening - Not able or willing to stop treatment with moderate or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors or inducers from at least 4 weeks prior to randomization (i.e., at Visit 2) - Receipt of a live (or live attenuated) vaccine within 6 weeks prior to randomization (i.e., 2 weeks prior to Visit 2) - Female participants: pregnant, lactating or planning to become pregnant during the trial (i.e., until 30 days after permanent discontinuation of trial intervention)
