Variability both in the immunopathology of active demyelinating lesions in MS and in response to immunomodulatory treatments has demonstrated that RRMS is a heterogeneous form of MS. An overwhelming number of trials have supported the use of interferon-β (IFN-β) as a first-line immunomodulatory treatment in RRMS. Approximately 30% of IFN-β treated RRMS patients are non-responders (NR) to treatment. Despite vast clinical experience in the use of IFN-β, its mechanisms of action have not been fully clarified. Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a proinflammatory cytokine that is secreted by a lineage of T cells named Th17 cells. The Th17 chemokine pathways are essential for the development of central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune diseases such as MS. A high IL-17 concentration in the serum. of people with RRMS is associated with nonresponse to IFN-β therapy. Some animal and human studies have shown that IFN-β inhibits the activity of Th17 cells.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '50 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Egyptian Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Patients', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age between 18 and 50 years at time of signing informed consent form.\n* Relapsing- remitting multiple sclerosis as per the McDonald 2017 criteria, including an MRI brain satisfying the 2017 radiological criteria.\n* Kurtzke EDSS step 0.0 - 6.0.\n* At the time of screening, being treated with a stable dose of Interferon Beta 1a for at least 6 months.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* they had been treated in the last 30 days with methylprednisolone\n* they had changed their IFN-β preparation within the last 18 months\n* they had other chronic diseases associated with MS\n* they had been previously treated with immunosuppressive agents'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT05735067', 'briefTitle': 'The Impact of Body Weight on Clinical and Immunological Outcomes in Relapse-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Patients', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'German University in Cairo'}, 'officialTitle': 'The Impact of Body Weight on Clinical and Immunological Outcomes in Relapse-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis Patients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'MSINF'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Group 1', 'description': 'RRMS patients who received Interferon beta 1a and have normal weight', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Blood sample collection']}, {'label': 'Group 2', 'description': 'RRMS patients who received Interferon beta 1a and have are obese', 'interventionNames': ['Other: Blood sample collection']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Blood sample collection', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': '5 ml of blood samples were withdrawn from RRMS patients', 'armGroupLabels': ['Group 1', 'Group 2']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '1053', 'city': 'Cairo', 'country': 'Egypt', 'facility': 'Nasser Institute for Research and Treatment', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 30.06263, 'lon': 31.24967}}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'German University in Cairo', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Research assistant in Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacogenomics Research Gruop', 'investigatorFullName': 'Mohamed Youssef Elsayed', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'German University in Cairo'}}}}
