Clinical Trial: Role of Inflammation in Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML)
Study Status: Active, not recruiting
Recruit Status: Active, not recruiting
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Role of Inflammation in PML
Brief Summary: This is a continuation of our previous studies on Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML). We will focus on the role of inflammation in PML, and define prognostic markers of disease evolution.
Detailed Summary: To determine precisely what are the host or viral factors that may predict a favorable outcome for PML patients and the role of inflammation in preventing JCV from causing brain disease. One of the goals of this study is to help establish non-invasive markers of PML evolution by studying the brain metabolism in PML lesions using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Magnetic Spectroscopy (MRS) and other advanced imaging modalities.
