There are, however, evidence that some treatment protocols using cytotoxic drugs may to some extent slow down the progressive course. One specific feature of long-standing MS is that inflammatory cells accumulate in the central nervous system(CNS) compartment in the subarachnoid and perivascular spaces and may therefore be hard to reach via standard drug delivery through systemic administration. Administration of substances via the Intrathecal (IT) route, however, have shown to efficiently distribute in the subarachnoid spaces and may therefore be an attractive route of drug delivery'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '65 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Between the age of 18 and 65 years of age (nonfertile women or fertile women with effective contraceptive methods)\n* Progressive MS since at least three years\n* Some kind of documented progression of neurological symptoms during the previous two years.\n* Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) 4,0 - 7.0 (inclusive) (basically spared arm functions)\n* Conventional therapy not indicated, contraindicated or failed\n* Judged as compliant with the protocol\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Eligible for any of the conventional MS therapies\n* Relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS)\n* Bleeding diathesis or medication contraindicating neurosurgical procedures or lumbar puncture\n* Cognitive defect making informed consent unreliable\n* Any medical condition contraindicating minor surgical procedures, as judged by anaesthesiologist\n* Severe, uncontrolled heart disease\n* Pregnant or lactating women\n* Patients having contraindication for or otherwise not compliant with MRI investigations\n* Documented vulnerability to infections\n* Simultaneous treatment with other immunosuppressive drugs\n* Documented allergy or intolerance to Rituximab\n* Severe psychiatric condition'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01719159', 'acronym': 'ITT-PMS', 'briefTitle': 'Intrathecal Therapy With Monoclonal Antibodies in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Umeå University'}, 'officialTitle': 'Intrathecal Therapy With Monoclonal Antibodies in Progressive Multiple Sclerosis', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'ITT-PMS'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Rituximab', 'description': 'Rituximab, 25 mg, is administrated intrathecal three times one week apart', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Rituximab']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Rituximab', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['Mabthera'], 'description': '25 mg rituximab is injected intrathecally via an Ommaya reservoir once a week for 3 weeks.
