A Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Myelin-peptide Loaded tolDC as Treatment for MS

A two-arm non-randomized controlled phase II clinical trial will be conducted in a coordinated and comprehensive manner to provide proof-of-concept for efficacy and safety. The primary objective of the phase II study is to determine whether tolDC-based therapy is effective and safe based on a surrogate outcome measure as primary outcome (i.e. brain MRI). Adverse events, clinical relapse rates, neurological disability (assessed using various scales) and MRI endpoints will be followed and measured over the course of 18 months. Participants who receive the tolDC treatment will be compared to MS patients, who receive standard-of-care (control group). Completion of screening assessments and confirmation of eligibility criteria should take no longer than 8 weeks. Furthermore, patients for the two arms will be recruited simultaneously and at the same pace.
