Testing antiviral drugs to control Epstein-Barr virus in MS
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This Phase 2 study tests whether certain antiviral medicines can reduce Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) activity. If you have multiple sclerosis and evidence of EBV infection, the results may help clarify new ways to target EBV-related disease activity.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and have a confirmed diagnosis of multiple sclerosis
- You agree to sign informed consent and be available for all study visits and procedures
- Your EBV blood tests are positive (EBV testing will be done at screening, and negative results mean you’re not enrolled)
- You are able to do required blood and urine testing used to check safety (including kidney function and phosphorus levels)
- If you are not pregnant and not breastfeeding

This early-phase study tests whether a patient’s own immune cells (made to target a common virus called EBV) are safe and practical for people who have their first episode that strongly suggests multiple sclerosis. If it works well, it could offer a new way to treat early disease—but the main goal now is safety and feasibility.
This trial tests an experimental oral drug called VT7208 in both healthy volunteers and people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The goal is to see if it is safe and how the body processes it, which could lead to a new treatment option for MS.
This trial tests a combination of four drugs (PD-1 inhibitor, tenofovir, chidamide, and lenalidomide) for people with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections that are causing symptoms. It aims to see if this combination can control the virus and improve health.
This trial tests an immune therapy made from EBV-targeted T-cells to treat EBV infections that do not improve with standard anti-viral medicines. It may help by strengthening the body’s ability to fight EBV after certain transplants or immune problems.
This study tests two experimental vaccines (V350A and V350B) designed to prevent Epstein-Barr virus infection. It is looking for healthy adolescents and adults to see if the vaccines are safe and produce a good immune response.
This trial tests an experimental mRNA vaccine (mRNA-1189) to see if it can prevent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. It is for healthy adults 18 to 30 years old.
