PET/MRI scan study for nerve inflammation in multiple sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis

Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.

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.

Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Phase
Phase 1/Phase 2
Enrollment
19 people
Ages
18 years to 60 years
Study type
Interventional

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.

Brain inflammation in multiple sclerosis: a PET-MRI imaging study

This study uses a special PET-MRI scan to look at brain inflammation in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). It may help researchers understand how inflammation changes when starting a stronger MS treatment.

Study uses brain scans to understand demyelinating diseases

This trial compares scan results in people with multiple sclerosis or related demyelinating conditions versus people without inflammatory demyelinating diseases. The goal is to better understand what’s happening in the brain and how sex differences may play a role.
