Multiple Sclerosis, Primary Progressive clinical trials in California
We’re tracking 15 recruiting multiple sclerosis, primary progressive studies with a site in California — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07325292RecruitingPhase 3
Frexalimab injection vs IV for multiple sclerosis
This study tests if a new injection (frexalimab) works as well as the IV version for people with relapsing or certain types of secondary progressive multiple sclerosis. It could offer a more convenient way to receive this treatment at home.
West Hollywood, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT05704361RecruitingPhase 1
Study of an experimental drug for multiple sclerosis
This study tests an experimental drug called RO7121932 in people with multiple sclerosis. The goal is to see how safe it is and how the body processes it. It might help by offering a new way to manage the condition.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07299019RecruitingPhase 3
Study of orelabrutinib for secondary progressive MS
This study tests an oral medication called orelabrutinib for people whose multiple sclerosis has changed from relapsing-remitting to secondary progressive. The goal is to see if it can slow down disability worsening that happens even without relapses.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT07067463RecruitingPhase 3
Testing orelabrutinib for primary progressive MS
This trial tests a daily pill called orelabrutinib to see if it can slow disability progression in people with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). It may be an option for patients whose symptoms have been getting worse over the past two years.
West Hollywood, CaliforniaAges 18–60 - NCT04047628RecruitingPhase 3
MS patients with active relapsing disease comparing two treatment plans
This Phase 3 study compares the best standard MS treatment (chosen by your doctors) versus an approach called autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT) for people with highly active, treatment-resistant relapsing multiple sclerosis. It aims to see which option controls MS disease activity better and keeps you safer over time.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT05204459Recruiting
MRI and eye-scan study for MS and related conditions
This trial uses brain MRI and eye imaging tests to study research markers in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and related neurologic conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and how they change over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06138132RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for progressive multiple sclerosis
This trial is testing a type of immunotherapy called CAR-T cells (made from your own immune cells) to see if it can help slow or stop progressive multiple sclerosis. It is a very early safety study, so only people with progressive MS who meet strict health criteria can join.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT07222618Recruiting
Selfie videos to measure function in MS
This trial asks people with MS to record short 'selfie' videos of themselves doing everyday tasks, like walking or getting dressed. The goal is to find a better, more personal way to measure how MS affects daily function.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05359653RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Clemastine to study MRI changes in relapsing MS
This early-phase study tests whether clemastine (a drug being studied for “myelin repair”) changes how MS looks on special MRI scans. It may help researchers understand if the treatment supports restoring nerve covering in people with relapsing-remitting MS.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT06495593Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Ocrelizumab's effect on immune cells in lymph nodes in MS
This study tests how ocrelizumab, a medication for MS, affects immune cells in your lymph nodes. It may help doctors understand how the drug works and why it helps some people more than others.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT06846281RecruitingPhase 3
Switching to remibrutinib from ocrelizumab for relapsing MS
This study tests a new oral medication called remibrutinib for people with relapsing MS who are currently on ocrelizumab. The goal is to see if switching to remibrutinib is safe and effective for controlling MS long-term.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 40–70 - NCT07011914Recruiting
MS care study for young adults
This study looks at how to improve care for young adults with relapsing-remitting MS. It focuses on people who are Black, Hispanic, or have limited income.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07304154RecruitingPhase 1
Study of KITE-363 for autoimmune nerve diseases
This trial tests a new treatment called KITE-363 for people with certain autoimmune nerve diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, or chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, that have not responded well to standard therapies. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05877963RecruitingPhase 3
Ublituximab treatment plan for relapsing multiple sclerosis
This Phase 3 trial tests the safety and effectiveness of a modified treatment plan using ublituximab for relapsing multiple sclerosis. It also studies how the drug behaves in the body and aims to improve disease control while monitoring side effects.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–65 - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.

What taking part in a multiple sclerosis, primary progressive study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
Common questions
- Are there multiple sclerosis, primary progressive clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 15 recruiting multiple sclerosis, primary progressive studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a multiple sclerosis, primary progressive study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
