Testosterone treatment for nerve protection and myelin repair in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking testosterone (for low testosterone levels) can help protect nerves and repair myelin in people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS). It may be most relevant if your MS is stable and you have low blood testosterone without current androgen treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 18 to 55
- You have relapsing-remitting MS that was officially diagnosed (not progressive MS)
- You are on an MS disease medicine (like natalizumab, fingolimod, ponesimod, ocrelizumab, or ofatumumab) for at least 1 year
- You have low testosterone on blood testing (total testosterone below 20 nmol/L)
- You have had no MS relapses in the past year and your MS has been stable recently
- You can get MRIs and have an EDSS disability score from 0 to 7

This trial tests an experimental drug called ifenprodil to see if it can repair the protective coating (myelin) around nerves in the eye and brain for people with relapsing-remitting MS. You may join if you have a delayed visual signal in one eye and enough remaining nerve fibers to potentially rebuild myelin.
This study tests whether taking testosterone can improve erectile function and sexual desire in men with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have low testosterone. You may be screened with blood tests, questionnaires, and regular clinic visits to see if symptoms improve.
This study tests if a treatment can help repair age-related damage to the protective coating around nerves in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help improve nerve function and slow disability.
This Phase 2 study tests whether corticosteroid medicine can reduce inflammation at the edge of active multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques seen on MRI. It may help calm “hot” areas in the brain where MS activity is happening.
This trial tests a device that stimulates a nerve in the neck, which may help repair the protective coating around nerves in the brain and spinal cord. It is for people with relapsing-remitting MS who are stable on their current medication and have some vision problems due to MS.
This study tests whether testosterone can help brain function in men with spinal cord injury and low testosterone. If you qualify, you would receive testosterone treatment and have your brain activity measured over about a month.
