Study of myMS in Participants With a Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis

November 24, 2021 updated by: Daniel Pelletier, University of Southern California

A Pilot Study Evaluating the Feasibility of A Mobile Application to Collect Clinical, Magnetic Resonance Imaging Information and Genetic Data in Participants With Multiple Sclerosis

This is a pilot study looking at the feasibility of a mobile application (app) to collect data from active tasks (questionnaires, 6Mapp™, COGapp™, VISapp™), clinical magnetic resonance imaging information and conduct genome-wide association studies in subjects with multiple sclerosis. Participants will be self-referred to this study from different sources; patient advocacy groups, social media tools, clinicaltrials.gov, and flyers.

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

This is a pilot study evaluating the feasibility of a mobile application "myMS™" to collect active clinical tasks (questionnaires, 6Mapp™, COGapp™, VISapp™), magnetic resonance imaging information and conduct genome-wide association studies in subjects with multiple sclerosis. Participants will be self-referred to this study from different sources; patient advocacy groups, social media tools, clinicaltrials.gov, and flyers.

Specific aims of this pilot study are:

  1. To determine the feasibility and work flow in prospectively collecting surveys, clinical tasks, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) information for up to 200 self-referred adult MS participants, using mobile app myMS™.
  2. To determine the feasibility of using interface between myMS™ and 23andMe® DNA Kits and 23andme password protected mobile app platform (GSR Dashboard) in collecting one biological (saliva) sample and distributing the genetic result (using commercially available results only, distributed by 23andme®), for up to 200 self-referred adult MS participants. This aim is for testing the system interface only. 23andme® has their own independent consent form and IRB coverage for their commercial product.
  3. To estimate the percentage of registered participants that will meet eligibility criteria for MS.
  4. To estimate the percentage of participants that a) complete all clinical tasks; b) complete all surveys; c) provide genetic information; and d) provide MRI scans.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants with a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Males or females participants with access to an iPhone 5 and above.
  • Participants willing to provide electronic consent.
  • Age 18 and above.
  • A diagnosis of MS (Polman, 2010), with dissemination in time and space. CIS participants will be included if they fulfil 3 of the 4 MRI criteria for dissemination in space as per Polman et al. 2010.
  • EDSS of between 0 and 8.0

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Under 18 years of age
  • Participants who do not consent to participate.
  • Participants participating in ongoing MS clinical trials with non-approved drugs.
  • Any concurrent illness, disability or clinically significant abnormality (including laboratory tests) that may prevent the subject from safely completing the assessments required by the protocol.

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
April 17, 2017

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
