Efficacy and Safety Study of Peginterferon Beta-1a in Participants With Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
NCT00906399 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of peginterferon beta-1a in reducing the annualized relapse rate (ARR) in participants with relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) at 1 year. The secondary objectives of this study are to determine whether peginterferon beta-1a, at 1 year when compared with placebo, is effective in reducing the total number of new or newly enlarging T2 hyperintense lesions on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, reducing the proportion of participants who relapse, and slowing the progression of disability.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00906399
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00906399 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 3, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 1,516 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Biogen, which has 74 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00906399 reports 20 study locations spanning 12 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Other, Ohio, Arizona. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
