Sunphenon in Progressive Forms of Multiple Sclerosis (SUPREMES)

July 28, 2021 updated by: Friedemann Paul

Monocentric, Prospective, Doubleblind, Randomised/Stratified, Placebocontrolled Two-arm Study to Evaluate the Effect of Sunphenon EGCg (Main Component Epigallocatechin-Gallat) on the Increase of Brain Atrophy in the Cerebral Magnetic Resonance Tomography in a 36-months Treatment Time in Patients With Primary or Secondary Chronic-progressive Multiple Sclerosis

The investigators hypothesize that an oral Sunphenon EGCg (Epigallocatechin-Gallat, EGCG) treatment is - due to its antiinflamatoric and neuroprotective potence - significantly more effective than an oral placebo treatment regarding following parameters: increase in brain atrophy, number of new T2-lesions in the cerebral magnetic resonance tomography, reduction of the NAA/Cr-ratio in MR-spectroscopy, progression of disability such as cognitive disorders in patients with MS.

Detailed Description

The hypotheses of our study are:

Sunphenon EGCg has an antiinflammatoric effect due to its impact on the T-cell-proliferation and the inhibition of the activity of NF-Kb.

Sunphenon EGCg has a neuroprotective effect due to its antioxidative potence as a radical scavenger.

A 30 month treatment with Sunphenon EGCg is safe and well-tolerated.
