Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To evaluate efficacy and safety of Sunphenon EGCg in progressive forms of multiple sclerosis after a 36 months treatment compared to the placebo-group, primary outcome criteria being reduction of Brain Parenchymal Fraction (atrophy) ;Secondary Objective: - T2-lesions (number and volume) - T1 hypointensive lesions („black holes“) - changes in the NAA/Cr ratio (spectroscopy) - EDSS - cognitive functions and fatigue - RNFL („retinal nerve fiber layer“) thickness (optic coherencetomography) ;Primary end point(s): Brain Parenchymal Fraction / atrophy after 36 months of treatment vs. placebo;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: month 0-36 | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): T2 leasion, T1 hypotensive leasion, EDSS, changes in NAA/Cr quotient in spectroscopy, cognitive disorders and fatigue RNFL thickness in OCT;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: month 0-36 | — |
