Champaign, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05177523Recruiting
MRI study of nerve damage and repair in multiple sclerosis
This trial uses MRI scans to better understand how nerve fibers are damaged and repaired in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help researchers connect scan findings to disease activity and progression.
BaselAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT05418010RecruitingPhase 2
Natalizumab treatment for early multiple sclerosis-like symptoms
This Phase 2 study tests natalizumab to treat people who have had a first episode of symptoms suggestive of multiple sclerosis. It aims to see whether the treatment can help after early “demyelination” changes are seen on brain MRI.
LondonAges 18–55 - NCT05491031Recruiting
MRI scan study to predict disability changes in MS
This study uses MRI scans to predict how quickly disability may worsen in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help doctors spot people at higher risk of progression earlier.
PoitiersAges 18 years+ - NCT05532943RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cord stem cell treatment for people with multiple sclerosis
This Phase 1/2 trial studies whether donated umbilical cord stem cells are safe and can improve multiple sclerosis. It aims to see if the treatment is workable for people who still have active MS despite standard therapies.
Taichung, Non-USAges 20–65 - NCT05633875Recruiting
MRI study to better understand worsening in multiple sclerosis
This study uses detailed imaging (mostly MRI) to look for patterns that may explain why multiple sclerosis can worsen. It may help researchers understand the biology behind neurodegeneration and improve future care.
