Official Title: Master Protocol of Two Independent, Randomized, Double-blind, Phase 3 Studies Comparing Efficacy and Safety of Frexalimab (SAR441344) to Teriflunomide in Adult Participants With Relapsing Forms of Multiple Sclerosis

A Study On:

Brain - Neurologic/ Psychologic

Multiple Sclerosis MS

Study Description

The purpose of each study is to independently measure the annualized relapse rate (ARR) with administration of frexalimab compared to a daily oral dose of teriflunomide in male and female participants with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (aged 18 to 55 years at the time of enrollment). People diagnosed with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis are eligible for enrollment as long as they meet all the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria.

Study details include:

This event-driven study will have variable duration of approximately 40 months for the first participant being randomized and approximately 20 months for the last participant randomized.
The study intervention duration will vary ranging from approximately 20 to 40 months.
The assessment of scheduled visits will include 1 common end of study [EOS] visit and 3 follow-up visits) with a visit frequency of every 4 weeks for the first 6 months and then every 3 months.

Eligibility

The participant must have been diagnosed with RMS according to the 2017 revision of the McDonald diagnostic criteria.
The participant has an EDSS score ≤5.5 at the first visit (Screening Visit)
The participant must have at least 1 of the following prior to screening:

greater than or equal to 1 documented relapse within the previous year OR
greater than or equal to 2 documented relapses within the previous 2 years, OR
greater than or equal to 1 documented Gd enhancing lesion on an MRI scan within the previous year.

Contraceptive use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.

The participant has been diagnosed with PPMS according to the 2017 revision of the McDonald diagnostic criteria
The participant has a history of infection or may be at risk for infection:
The presence of psychiatric disturbance or substance abuse.
History, clinical evidence, suspicion or significant risk for thromboembolic events, as well as myocardial infarction, stroke, and/or antiphosholipid syndrome and any participants requiring antithrombotic treatment.
History or current hypogammaglobulinemia.
A history or presence of disease that can mimic MS symptoms, such as, but not limited to neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjogren's syndrome, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and myasthenia gravis.
The participant has had a relapse in the 30 days prior to randomization.
The participant has contraindication for MRI, ie, presence of pacemaker, metallic implants in high risk areas (ie, artificial heart valves, aneurysm/vessel clips), presence of metallic material (eg, shrapnel) in high risk areas, known history of allergy to any contrast medium, or history of claustrophobia that would prevent completion of all protocol scheduled MRI scans.

Please read the information below and ask questions about anything that you do not understand. A
researcher listed above will be available to answer your questions.

You are being asked to participate in a clinical research potential participant database to identify
potential clinical research studies you may be eligible for. Participation in this database is voluntary.
You may choose to skip any question. You may refuse to participate or discontinue your involvement
at any time without penalty or loss of benefits. You are free to withdraw from this database at any
time. If you decide to withdraw from this database you should notify the research team
immediately.

You are eligible to participate in this study if you may be interested in participating in a research trial at UCI Health

We would like to interview you to learn more about your eligibility for current clinical research studies at UCI. The interview will last about 5-30 minutes, depending on the extent of your medical history.

Possible risks/discomforts associated with the database are hearing about potential clinical research studies that may not be of interest to you, invasion of your privacy, or a potential breach of confidentiality.

There are no direct benefits from participation in the database. However, this database may help inform you on clinical research studies that you may be eligible for. Participation in UCI clinical research studies help us gain important data and knowledge that may lead to improved treatment options for people with similar conditions to you in the future.

There are no alternative procedures available. The only alternative is not to participate in this study.

There is no compensation for your participation in this database.

There is no cost to you for participation in this database.

All information collected will be stored confidentially in a world-class securely-hosted application, “RealTime CTMS,” with robust data protections and encryption. This application has HIPAA compliant architecture and application rules to ensure data privacy and regulatory compliance.

Researchers will use your information to assess your eligibility for current and future clinical research studies at UCI. You may opt out at any time.

The research team, authorized UCI personnel, and regulatory entities, may have access to your study records to protect your safety and welfare.

While the research team will make every effort to keep your personal information confidential, it is possible that an unauthorized person might see it. We cannot guarantee total privacy.

Future Research Use
Researchers will use your information to conduct this study. Once the study is done using your information, we may share them with other researchers so they can use them for other studies in the future. We will not share your name or any other private identifiable information that would let the researchers know who you are. We will not ask you for additional permission to share this de-identified information

Data Retention - In accordance with UC Office of the President policy, information will be retained for 10 years after the end of the calendar year in which the research is completed.

If, during the course of this study, significant new information becomes available that may relate to your willingness to continue to participate, this information will be provided to you by the research team listed at the top of the form.
