Controlled High-risk Avonex Multiple Sclerosis Prevention Study in Ongoing Neurologic Surveillance (CHAMPIONS10)
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating interferon beta 1a 30 ug IM once weekly for Multiple Sclerosis and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 155 participants across 26 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
The current study is a continuation of the 5 year extension study of the phase III CHAMPS study (see reference). This study was designed to determine if immediate initiation of therapy with Interferon Beta-1a (AVONEX) after a first attack of multiple sclerosis (MS) continues to delay the development of further attacks (CDMS) and the development of neurological disability over a 10 year period of observation. The initial 5 year extension study, called CHAMPIONS5, reported that immediate initiation of interferon Beta-1a (AVONEX) after a first attack of MS continued to delay the development of CDMS and lowered relapse rates compared to delayed initiation of disease modifying treatment (usually with AVONEX) either at the time of a second attack or at the end of the phase III study (24 months). The study was extended to 10 years to determine if these effects are sustained and result in less long term permanent disability.

Interventions
Immediate treatment group refers to those patients who were randomized to the interferon beta 1a 30 ug IM once weekly treatment arm of the original, controlled phase III CHAMPS study; Delayed treatment group refers to those patients who were randomized to the placebo group during the original controlled, phase III CHAMPS study and did not start treatment, if at all, until they completed the CHAMPS study protocol at a later date.
