Observational Study of Persistence on Bafiertam Treatment in Routine Clinical Practice (SIMPLE)

March 4, 2025 updated by: Banner Life Sciences LLC

A Prospective, Observational Study of Bafiertam Evaluating Persistence on Treatment, Safety, Tolerability, and Effectiveness in Routine Clinical Practice.

This is an open-label, multicenter, observational study of the adherence of patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) prescribed Bafiertam (monomethyl fumarate) as their treatment.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

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.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Monomethyl fumarate (MMF) is the active metabolite of the fumarate class of drugs used for the treatment of RRMS. Bafiertam is a formulation of MMF and does not require enzymatic conversion after oral administration. Adult participants with a diagnosis of RRMS who have been receiving continuous treatment with Bafiertam monotherapy per the approved product label for no more than 3 months (90 days) are eligible to enroll in the study. Their satisfaction with Bafiertam treatment will be assessed using a 9-Item Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9). To be included in the study, patients.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Male or non-pregnant female aged 18 years and older.
  2. Participants diagnosed with Relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis R(RMS) and satisfy the approved therapeutic indication for Bafiertam per the approved product labeling.
  3. Participants may enroll if they are within 90 days of initiating therapy with Bafiertam.
  4. Female participants of childbearing potential must practice effective contraception from Day -1 and be willing and able to continue contraception for the duration of the study.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of participants on treatment with Bafiertam at 1 Year.
Time Frame: 12 months
Percentage of participants on treatment with Bafiertam at 1 Year.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Change From Baseline in Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM-9) Total Score (range 0 - 100) at Month 6 and 12 months.TSQM Version 9 is comprised of 9 questions that provide scores on four scales: effectiveness (3 items), convenience (3 items), and global satisfaction (3 items). The scale scores are transformed and range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.

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.
