The research physician about this research

Additional information

  • The trial consists of 2 parts. You can only participate in one part.
  • The new compound may potentially be used for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is a long-term disease that currently has no cure. Multiple sclerosis damages the protective layer around nerve cells (called myelin) in the brain and spinal cord. The nerve damage is caused by inflammation. Damage to nerves can cause numbness, weakness, difficulty walking, and vision changes, among other things. Only a few medications are available and able to slow down the worsening of the disease. The aim of this study is to see how certain compounds that are already on the market can influence each other when they are used together with the new compound.
  • In part A, you will receive the study compound as tablet by mouth and the approved compound as capsules by mouth.
  • In part B, you will receive the study compound and the approved compound as tablets via the mouth.

The active ingredient in the study compound has been administered to about 2700 healthy people and patients. The patients had diseases including multiple sclerosis, liver disease, inflammatory bowel disease, or COVID‑19. The compound has also been studied extensively in the laboratory and in animals. Treatment with the new compound may cause side effects or discomforts. The most frequently reported side effect in healthy people who received the compound was a headache. Other potential risks include effects on liver function, which may lead to yellowing of the skin. You may also experience other, yet unknown, side effects. Prior to the medical screening, you will receive written information about the trial, which also describes the possible side effects. This information will also be discussed with you at the start of the medical screening. You can then ask questions to the screening physician or nurse. Once everything is clear to you, you can decide to give written consent to participate in the trial. The medical screening will only take place after you have given written consent to participate in the trial. We want to emphasize that even after giving written consent, participation in any clinical trial is voluntary. You can decide at any time not to participate or to stop the medical screening or the trial. You do not need to provide a reason for why you no longer wish to participate.
