Study immune blood and spinal fluid cells in multiple sclerosis
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at different immune cells in blood and, sometimes, spinal fluid (CSF) to understand what’s driving multiple sclerosis (MS) or early MS-like symptoms. Your participation may help researchers better explain the disease and potentially improve how it’s diagnosed or treated.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have multiple sclerosis (MS) based on 2010 diagnostic criteria, or you have a single first episode that could be MS (clinical isolated syndrome).
- Your doctor is already planning a blood test and/or a spinal fluid (CSF) test for diagnosis or treatment.
- You have health insurance and can be enrolled through it.
- You are able and willing to give consent to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how immune-related brain or spinal cord illness shows up using exams, MRI scans, and sometimes a spinal fluid test (lumbar puncture), plus collected blood and other samples. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and improve future diagnosis or treatments.
This study looks at genetic information and blood test signals to understand why some people with early MS develop a worse outcome. It may help doctors predict who is at higher risk and better understand disease mechanisms.
This study measures blood markers (from a serum blood sample) to see how nerve and brain changes relate to MS disease activity and disability over time. It may help researchers better monitor MS, especially in people followed in the OFSEP program.
This study looks for signs of “synapse damage” in multiple sclerosis using blood tests and brain imaging (MRI). The goal is to find biomarkers that may help better understand MS and how it changes over time.
This study observes people with multiple sclerosis (MS) to collect health data and samples over time. It aims to use digital tools and artificial intelligence to better understand the disease and improve care.
This study follows adults with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis using MRI scans and blood tests. It aims to understand how the disease behaves and what markers in blood and imaging may relate to changes over time.
