A Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, efficacy and safety study comparing SAR442168 to placebo in participants with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PERSEUS)

Principal Investigator

Andrew Smith

Study Number

STUDY02001294

Summary

This study is looking at the effectiveness of an experimental drug (not FDA approved yet) to decrease the worsening of disabling symptoms of primary progressive multiple sclerosis. Every participant has 2 chances out of 3 to be taking the experimental drug. Likewise, every participant has 1 chance out of 3 to be taking placebo (a pill that does not contain any medication, experimental or otherwise). All participants will take experimental drug or placebo for a minimum of 24 months, but could be taking drug or placebo for as many as 48 months. Some of the participants taking placebo who experience 6-month confirmed disease progression, may be switched to the experimental drug as a rescue treatment. And, all participants who compete the study and are taking the experimental medication at the end of the study will be offered the chance to continue on the experimental drug for 24 more months so that more information about the drug can be collected.
