Recruiting studies in California
- NCT05634967Recruiting
Kesimpta pregnancy registry for pregnant people with MS
This registry collects information about pregnancy outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have taken Kesimpta (ofatumumab) during pregnancy or shortly before it. It may help doctors better understand safety and developmental outcomes for babies.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06940323Recruiting
Pregnancy study for women with chronic conditions
This study tracks pregnant women with certain chronic health conditions (like multiple sclerosis, lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis) and healthy pregnant women as a comparison group. It aims to understand how these conditions and their treatments affect pregnancy, the baby, and breast milk.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–64 - 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 disease
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can safely treat advanced cancer in people who also have an autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to find out if the drug may help control cancer while managing their autoimmune condition.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03698149Recruiting
Brain-signal training for hand and speech control after disability
This study tests whether recording brain signals can help people regain better control of movements in the arms and help with speech. It may be an option for people with significant disability from certain nerve and brain conditions who can safely take part in brain-monitoring procedures.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT00704626Enrolling by invitation
Blood antibody tests in autoimmune brain and nerve diseases
This study looks at blood “auto-antibodies,” which are immune proteins that may attack the body, in people with certain brain and nerve conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and how the immune system is involved.

What taking part in a multiple sclerosis 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 clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 31 recruiting multiple sclerosis 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 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?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a multiple sclerosis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New multiple sclerosis studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
