Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are individuals who have completed the TILS-021 trial and meet specific health criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have not participated in the TILS-021 trial or those with active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial is an open-label extension study for patients who have completed a previous trial involving nasal foralumab for non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. Participants will receive nasal foralumab starting at a dose of 50 µg three times a week for two weeks, followed by a one-week rest, with the possibility of dose escalation to 100 µg based on clinical status. The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment over a six-month period, assessing various clinical and immunological outcomes. The trial is designed to provide ongoing access to the treatment for those who previously participated in the initial study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve the management of symptoms and overall quality of life for patients with non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies involving nasal foralumab have shown promise, but this specific approach is still being evaluated in the context of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subjects must have enrolled in and successfully completed TILS-021 within the preceding 90 days, including End of Treatment and End of Study assessments. * Screening clinical laboratory studies are within the normal ranges or within the parameters specified below, and clinically acceptable in the opinion of the Investigator. Exceptions must be approved by the Clinical Research Organization or Sponsor's Medical Monitor. * Adequate hematologic parameters without ongoing transfusion support: 1. Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 9 g/dL 2. Platelets ≥ 100 x 109 cells/L * Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN), or calculated creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/minute x 1.73 m2 per the Cockcroft-Gault formula * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the ULN unless due to Gilbert's disease. * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.0 times ULN. * Negative urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the first dose of study therapy for women of childbearing potential, defined as a sexually mature woman who has not undergone a hysterectomy or who has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., who has had menses any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months). * Sexually active women of childbearing potential and male patients must agree to use two effective methods to avoid pregnancy (oral, injectable, or implantable hormonal contraceptives; tubal ligation; intra-uterine device; barrier contraceptive with spermicide; or vasectomized partner) throughout the study, and for 90 days after the completion of study treatment. * Immunizations are current and up to date as adjusted for disease status and prior/current treatments and documented by the subject's treating neurologist. * Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Subjects that terminated TILS-021 early as defined as not undergoing an End of Treatment visit. * Subjects that terminated TILS-021 early as defined as not undergoing an End of Study visit. * Subjects that terminated TILS-021 due to any adverse events. * Corticosteroid use (oral or intravenous) within the last 60 days or anticipated need for such treatment during the study period. * Current use or use within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit of interferon, glatiramer acetate, fingolimod, siponimod, dimethyl fumarate, ponesimod, ozanimod, cyclosporin, methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, natalizumab or any other chronic immunosuppressive medication. Concomitant immunomodulatory or immunosuppressant treatments for MS are not permitted during study participation. * Patient in whom the need to start or stop other pharmacologic treatment for MS is expected during the time of the study or the need for initiation of B cell depleting therapies (e.g.: ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, ublituximab, rituximab) during the study. * Use of B cell depleting therapies (e.g.: ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, ublituximab, rituximab) at any time during study TILS-021 or after the patient has completed TILS-021 is not permitted. * Subjects with any previous exposure to alemtuzumab, cyclophosphamide, cladribine, mitoxantrone, or daclizumab. * Prior use of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or stem cell therapy. * Nasal corticosteroids, nasal antihistamines, nasal flu dosing within the past 60 days. * Active COVID-19 disease; according to FDA guidelines. * Female patient who is pregnant, lactating, breastfeeding, or planning on becoming pregnant during the study. Female patients of childbearing age will undergo a serum pregnancy test at Screening, but prior to receiving their first dose, and be excluded from the study if positive. Urine pregnancy testing will be carried out prior to each dosing cycle, and the subject's study participation will be stopped if there is a positive result. Pregnancy testing will also be performed prior to each MRI imaging session and participation in the imaging session and the study will be terminated if positive. * Any history of malignancy or active malignancy. This includes any skin cancers at any time. * Inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, asthma, or type 1 diabetes. * Patients with a history of gadolinium allergy/contraindications or any other contraindications to MRI, such as metal implants, chronic renal disease and an eGRF of \<30 mL/minute or claustrophobia. Or who are unable to lay flat in the PET or MRI scanner for the duration of the studies. * Known positivity for human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C virus or tuberculosis at Screening. If the subject has a history of positivity for any of these diseases, they are excluded even if current Screening is negative. * Any nasal pathology such as clinically significant deviated septum, nasal polyps, chronic rhinitis, or a history of sinusitis diagnosed or treated in the past 12 months. * Clinically significant cardiac condition or ECG abnormality at Screening or by history. An ECG will be done prior to each dosing cycle and patients will be excluded or treatment discontinued for any significant ECG abnormality. * Any other medical intervention or other condition which, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, could compromise adherence to study requirements or confound the interpretation of study results. * Other than nasal foralumab, receipt of an investigational drug/biological product in the past 30 days of Screening, or concurrent receipt of an investigational drug during this study, other than the product under study.
