riluzole and Acute Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis

riluzole has been researched along with Acute Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis in 4 studies

Riluzole: A glutamate antagonist (RECEPTORS, GLUTAMATE) used as an anticonvulsant (ANTICONVULSANTS) and to prolong the survival of patients with AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS.

Trial Outcomes

Changes in MS Functional Composite (MSFC)

Baseline MSFC data is compared to MSFC data collected during the timepoints. The MSFC is a three-part, standardized, quantitative, assessment instrument that measures the clinical dimensions of leg function, arm/hand function and cognitive function and the components include Timed 25-Foot walk, 9-Hole Peg Test and Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test. (NCT00501943)
Timeframe: Baseline, Month-3, Month-6, Month-12, Month-18 and Month-24

Interventionpercent change per year (Mean)
Riluzole0.041
Placebo0.052

Changes in Normalized Grey Matter Volume

The baseline data of grey matter volume obtained from the MRI images is compared to data obtained at time points using SIENA (Structural Image Evaluation using Normalization of Atrophy) and SIENAX (NCT00501943)
Timeframe: Baseline, Month-3, Month-6, Month-12 and Month-24

Interventionpercent change per year (Mean)
Riluzole-14.369
Placebo-18.444

Changes in Normalized White Matter Volumes (nWMV)

The baseline data of white matter volume obtained from the MRI images is compared to data obtained at time points using SIENA (Structural Image Evaluation using Normalization of Atrophy) and SIENAX (NCT00501943)
Timeframe: Baseline, Month-3, Month-6, Month-12, Month-18 and Month-24

Interventionpercent change per year (Mean)
Riluzole-1.75
Placebo-9.69

Changes in Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness (RNFL)

Baseline RNFL data is compared to the RNFL data collected during the timepoint, and the changes in RNFL is measured using optical coherence tomography (OCT). (NCT00501943)
Timeframe: Baseline, Month-3, Month-6, Month-12, Month-18 and Month-24

Interventionpercent change per year (Mean)
Riluzole-4.670
Placebo-1.839

Changes in Symbol Digit Modality Test (SDMT)

Baseline SDMT data were compared to SDMT data collected during the timepoints. A simple substitution task, the SDMT gives the examinee 90 seconds to pair specific numbers with given geometric figures as a measure for screening cognitive impairment. The total score is the total number of correctly completed boxes in the time allowed. The test score range is from 0(worst outcome) to 110 (best outcome). (NCT00501943)
Timeframe: Baseline, Month-3, Month-6, Month-12, Month-18 and Month-24

Interventionpercent change per year (Mean)
Riluzole0.342
Placebo0.417

MRI Parameter- Percent Brain Volume Change for 2 Years

Baseline MRI is compared to MRI images collected during subsequent timepoints. The percent brain volume change is measured using SIENAX (Structural Image Evaluation using Normalization of Atrophy-X) (NCT00501943)
Timeframe: Baseline, Month-3, Month-6, Month-12, Month-18 and Month-24

Interventionpercent change per year (Mean)
Riluzole-0.862
Placebo-0.49
