Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) Effects on Myelination in Subjects With MS
RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment
Summary
The primary objective of this study is to determine if monthly pulse doses of a three-day course ACTH (H.P. Acthar®) is more effective at recovering myelin at 12 months, as measured by myelin water fraction (MWF), in new multiple sclerosis lesions as compared to one course of treatment. The main secondary objective is to utilize every three month MWF measurements to determine the peak time of remyelination in new multiple sclerosis lesions when followed over the course of 12 months.
