Brief Summary: Preliminary not-controlled clinical studies of the efficacy of monthly intravenous cyclophosphamide administration in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis reported encouraging results but no randomized controlled trial has been conducted so far The primary objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of IV cyclophosphamide as compared to IV methylprednisolone administered every 4 weeks during 1 year and every 8 weeks during 1 year on the delay to confirmed disability deterioration as assessed by the Expanded Disability Status Scale EDSS in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis The secondary objectives are to evaluate safety tolerability and efficacy at 2 years on the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite MSFC the percentage of patients with disability deterioration EDSS and the number of relapses An intention-to-treat statistical analysis will be carried out
Detailed Description: Background

Preliminary not-controlled clinical studies of the efficacy of monthly intravenous cyclophosphamide administration in secondary progressive multiple sclerosis reported encouraging results but no randomized controlled trial has been conducted so far A slight efficacy of Methylprednisolone has been reported in this indication

Objectives

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of IV cyclophosphamide on the prevention of disability deterioration in patients with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis

The secondary objectives are to evaluate safety tolerability and efficacy of IV cyclophosphamide on the Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite MSFC and the number of relapses

Study design

Randomized double-blind two-arm controlled trial

Intervention

Experimental group IV cyclophosphamide infusion administered every 4 weeks during 1 year and every 8 weeks during 1 year

Control group IV methylprednisolone infusion administered every 4 weeks during 1 year and every 8 weeks during 1 year

Outcomes

Primary outcome delay to disability deterioration as assessed by the Expanded Disability Status Scale EDSS 05 or 1 point increase depending on baseline score evaluated every 4 weeks for one year then every 8 weeks for one year

Secondary outcomes proportion of patients with disability deterioration EDSS 05 or 1 point increase depending on baseline score Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite MSFC and the Z scores of MSFC three components number of MS relapses proportion of patients with adverse events and delay of occurrence of adverse events quality of life questionnaires

Quality of life questionnaires
Disability self-assessment questionnaires Main time of assessment 2 years

Sample size

360 patients

Statistical analysis

Intention-to-treat analysis
