Multiple sclerosis clinical trials in Pennsylvania
We’re tracking 11 recruiting multiple sclerosis studies with a site in Pennsylvania — including Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT05285891RecruitingPhase 4
Stopping ocrelizumab in early relapsing multiple sclerosis
This study looks at whether people with early relapsing multiple sclerosis can safely stop ocrelizumab. Researchers will compare health and MRI findings over time to see if stopping helps or increases relapse risk.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–55 - NCT06433752Recruiting
Study of BRIUMVI for relapsing multiple sclerosis
This study looks at how well BRIUMVI (a medicine for relapsing multiple sclerosis) works for people in everyday life. Researchers want to see how people do when they first start the medication.
Bethlehem, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–55 - NCT01353547Recruiting
Study genes and environment in multiple sclerosis risk
This study looks at how genes and life exposures may relate to developing multiple sclerosis (MS) or to MS itself. You may be invited if you have a specific connection to MS or certain past immune-related treatments.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03032601Enrolling by invitation
N-acetyl cysteine study for people with multiple sclerosis
This study tests whether N-acetyl cysteine (a supplement-like medicine) changes body and brain function in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help researchers understand how it affects brain chemistry and activity using special brain imaging.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06782490RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new drug for MS muscle stiffness
This study tests an investigational drug (BMS-986368) to see if it helps reduce muscle stiffness and spasms caused by multiple sclerosis. It may be an option if you have had spasticity for at least 6 months and are not currently using other treatments that cannot be paused.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–70 - NCT07424027Recruiting
Central vein sign in multiple sclerosis extension study
This study is for people already in the CAVS-MS study. It uses MRI scans to look at a specific sign in the brain that may help diagnose multiple sclerosis.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT02994121Recruiting
Study of multiple sclerosis in the Three Rivers region
This study follows people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and some healthy people in the local area to better understand MS and related nerve conditions. It may help researchers learn which symptoms and scan changes show up over time.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 7 years+ - NCT05162638Enrolling by invitation
Immune study in MS and healthy adults using a special tube
This study compares immune (defense system) “profiles” between people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and healthy volunteers. It involves a thoracic duct cannulation procedure and several MRIs to see how immune cells behave and whether a specific immune pattern is different in MS.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–40 - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06587828Recruiting
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.

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 Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 11 recruiting multiple sclerosis studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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 Pennsylvania 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.
