About This Trial

Only subjects that have completed TILS-021, a Phase 2a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Dose-Ranging Study of Nasal Foralumab in Non-Active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis Patients are eligible to be enrolled in TILS-022. TILS-022 is a 6-month open-label extension study with an opportunity for dose to be escalated based on the subject's clinical status. All subjects initiate dosing in this trial at a dose of nasal foralumab 50 µg 3 days a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) for 2 weeks, followed by a 1-week rest, comprising a 3-week cycle. At week 12, the dose may be escalated to 100 µg according to pre-defined dose escalation rules. Study TILS-022 is intended to ensure all participants in TILS-021, a placebo-controlled study, will be able to receive open-label nasal foralumab for 6 months. The option to extend this trial for longer than 6 months will be explored with FDA by the Sponsor.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Non-Active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 55 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Non-Active Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
