ELIOS - Investigational Biomarkers to Track Disease Modification in Active RRMS (NCT06733922)

Exploratory Evaluation of Novel Investigational Eye Movement Biomarkers to Track Ofatumumab Treatment Response in Canadian Patients With Active Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (ELIOS)

🟢 Recruiting Phase4 ⚙️ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The exploratory ELIOS study aims to assess the value of novel investigational Eye Movement Biomarkers (EMBs) in tracking disease-related changes among a real-world cohort of Canadian patients with active RRMS, within the context of disease-modifying treatment (i.e., ofatumumab). To that end, the study will use the patented investigational, Eye Tracking Neurological Assessment (ETNA-ProgMS) SaMD (v1.0.11 or later), which has not yet received Health Canada approval, to reliably and accurately track eye movements with precision.
