Multiple sclerosis clinical trials in Massachusetts
We’re tracking 29 recruiting multiple sclerosis studies with a site in Massachusetts — including Early Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT05957913Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Testing antiviral drugs to control Epstein-Barr virus in MS
This Phase 2 study tests whether certain antiviral medicines can reduce Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activity. If you have multiple sclerosis and evidence of EBV infection, the results may help clarify new ways to target EBV-related disease activity.

Brain scans to measure synapses in multiple sclerosis
This early study uses special brain scans (PET and MRI) to measure “synapse density” (how many connection points brain cells have) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers understand MS biology and improve future treatments.

Looking at immune cells in people with autoimmune disease
This study collects blood, tissue, and other samples from people with autoimmune diseases like Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, or lupus. Researchers will study your immune cells (T cells) to learn what they are attacking, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
Waltham, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07087106RecruitingPhase 4
Glucose use in the brain of people with MS
This study uses a special PET scan to see how the brain uses sugar (glucose) in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) compared to healthy volunteers. It may help researchers understand energy changes in the brain related to MS.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT03207464RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PET/MRI scan study for nerve inflammation in multiple sclerosis
This early-phase study uses a special PET scan and an MRI to look at nerve-related inflammation in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The goal is to see whether this scan can detect MS-related changes, which could improve how MS is studied in the future.

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 Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 29 recruiting multiple sclerosis studies with a site in Massachusetts, 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 Massachusetts?
- 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 Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, 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 Massachusetts 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.
