Interventional Clinical Trial for CCSVI in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

April 12, 2018 updated by: Anthony Traboulsee, University of British Columbia

Phase I/II Interventional Clinical Trial of Balloon Venoplasty for Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency in Multiple Sclerosis Patients

To investigate the safety and tolerability of balloon venoplasty compared to sham in Multiple Sclerosis patients with Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) as measured by adverse events occurring within 48 weeks of the procedure.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Overview of study objectives are:

  • To determine the safety and tolerability of venoplasty of CCSVI in Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
  • To determine the short term and long term impact on validated patient measures and by physician and radiologic reported MS outcomes.
  • To determine the short term and long term recurrence rate of CCSVI for veins that have been treated with venoplasty

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Catheter Venography & Balloon Venoplasty
Patients will undergo catheter venography with balloon venoplasty procedure.
All eligible patients will undergo catheter venography with balloon venoplasty and/or sham at baseline and at week 48 (i.e. Cross over design) followed by clinical and radiologic observation for a minimum of 48 weeks after each procedure.
Sham Comparator: Catheter Venography Only
Patients will undergo catheter venography only.
All eligible patients will undergo catheter venography with balloon venoplasty and/or sham at baseline and at week 48 (i.e. Cross over design) followed by clinical and radiologic observation for a minimum of 48 weeks after each procedure.
