CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Safety, Others, Efficacy

Assess the cumulative number of combined unique new active lesions (CUAL; defined as new gadolinium T1-weighted and T2-weighted new and newly non-enhancing expansion) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans over 1 year.

Secondary objectives 7

  1. To evaluate the time to the first clinical event over the 3 years period
  2. Exploratory: to evaluate the number of cortical lesions at 6 months, as well as at 1, 2 and 3 years;
  3. Exploratory: to evaluate the Percentage of Brain Volume Changes (PBVC) at 6 months, as well as at 1, 2 and 3 years;
  4. Exploratory: to evaluate the Cortical and white matter Volume Changes at 6 months, as well as at 1, 2 and 3 years;
  5. Exploratory: to evaluate the Magnetization Transfer ratio (MTr) in lesions at 6 months, as well as at 1, 2 and 3 years;
  6. Exploratory: to evaluate the Magnetization Transfer ratio (MTr) in normalappearing brain at 6 months, as well as at 1, 2 and 3 years;
  7. Safety objective: To evaluate the overall safety and tolerability profile of BCG 10 Anti- Tuberculosis Vaccine administered intradermally in subjects with RIS diagnosis.

#TitleAllocationBlindingRoles blindedArms
1 screening
The screening evaluations will be performed from week -6 to day +1. The following assessments will be performed in order to check subjects eligibility for the study: • Evaluation of inclusion and exclusion criteria • Demographic data collection • Collection of the medical history • Evaluation of concomitant medications • Physical examination and neurological examination • Multiple sclerosis functional composite scale • Symbol digit modality test • Hematology and Blood Chemistry (and pregnancy test if female) as for Table 1 • Screening autoantibody and serodiagnosis for HIV as for Table 1 • Urinalysis • Electrocardiogram • X-ray chest • Mantoux reaction (to be evaluated 72 hours after) or quantiferon test • Brain MRI scan • Immune metabolic profiling Baseline evaluations will coincide with screening assessments.

comparator arm: Placebo
2 Randomization and treatment
On Day1, once eligibility is confirmed, the Investigator will randomize the subject via e-CRF to receive back information on the treatment to assign to the subject. The assigned kit number will be automatically recorded on the CRF by the e-system. On the same day, the subject will receive a sigle dose of BCG or placebo by intradermal injection. The subject will be observed by the treating physician for about 1 hour after vaccination, to monitor any immediate reaction to vaccination.

3 Clinical follow-up
Study subjects will be followed up by the assessing neurologis for 36 month after receiving the treatment/placebo. Subject will attend visits at the following timepoints: Visit 2 – 6 months (±7 days); Visit 3 – 12 months (±7 days); Visit 4 – 24 months (±7 days); Visit 5 – 36 months (±7 days) End of Study During the visits the following assessments will be performed: • Evaluation of concomitant medications • Physical examination and neurological examination • Multiple sclerosis functional composite scale • Symbol digit modality test • Hematology and Blood Chemistry • Mantoux reaction or quantiferon test (only at the End of Study Visit) • Brain MRI scan • Immune metabolic profiling • Adverse Events

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 3

  1. Male and female of any race and > 18 years old.
  2. Diagnosis of RIS (4) within the last five years.
  3. Signed Informed Consent.

Exclusion criteria 9

  1. Pregnancy or lactation.
  2. Concomitant or previous use of immunosuppressive or immunomodulating treatment (except sporadic use of corticosteroids) within the last five years.
  3. Subjects with a clinically significant or unstable medical or surgical condition that would preclude safe and complete study participation. Such conditions may include cardiovascular, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, severe systemic mycotic infections, metabolic diseases or malignancies, primary or secondary immunodeficiencies as determined by medical history, physical exam, laboratory tests, chest X-ray, electrocardiogram (ECG), and Mantoux reaction or quantiferon test.
  4. Any medical or psychiatric condition that may affect the subjects ability to give informed consent, or to complete the study, or if the subject is considered by the treating neurologist to be, for any other reason, an unsuitable candidate for this study.
  5. Subjects with inability to successfully undergo MRI scans.
  6. Concomitant radiotherapy.
  7. Known hypersensitivity to any component of the vaccine.
  8. Past bone marrow stem cell transplantation and organ transplantation.
  9. Other vaccinations in the previous 4 weeks.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. The primary endpoint of the study will be the cumulative number of CUAL on MRI scans over 1 year.

Secondary endpoints 3

  1. Time to first clinical event within the 3-year period.
  2. Exploraty endpoints: - Number of cortical lesions - Percentage of Brain Volume Changes (PBVC) - Changes in volume of cortex and White matter - Magnetization transfer ratio (MTr) in lesions - MTr in normal-looking brain
  3. Safety / tolerability endpoints: Adverse events occurring during the study and laboratory tests
