Abstract

Objectives: To present the results at 24 months of the MS-SPI trial Background: High dose of Biotin, a co-enzyme for acetylCoA carboxylase, a potentially key-enzyme in myelin synthesis was investigated in progressive MS in a randomized placebo-controlled trial (MS-SPI). Results at 12 months demonstrated improvement of a significant proportion of patients (p=0.005), decreased mean change EDSS (p=0.014) and stabilisation of the clinical global impression of change (p<0.0001). Methods: MS-SPI is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled (2:1) trial of oral biotin 300 mg / day in patients with secondary (SPMS) or primary (PPMS) progressive MS. Duration of the placebo-controlled was 48 weeks. The blinded phase was followed by a 12 months pre-planned extension phase where patients under placebo were switched to receive MD1003. Patients and physicians remained blinded to the treatment administered during the first phase of the study. Results: The last patient will complete the study in December 2015. The database will be locked in January 2016. Full statistical analyses will be available by March 2016. Results of clinical endpoints will be presented and discussed in the context of other trials in progressive MS. Conclusions: The 24-month results of the MS-SPI trial will be discussed in the context of development of high doses of pharmaceutical grade biotin as a novel treatment for progressive MS. Study supported by MedDay Pharmaceuticals
