Stem cell transplant for hard-to-treat multiple sclerosis
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests if using your own stem cells can stop multiple sclerosis that keeps getting worse despite treatment. You would first receive a medication to reset your immune system, then get your stem cells back to help rebuild it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have multiple sclerosis that continues to worsen or cause new symptoms despite treatment.
- Your disability level is moderate (EDSS score between 3 and 6, meaning you can walk but may use a cane or have trouble walking).
- You have current signs of active disease (like recent relapses or new MRI lesions).
- You do not have active infections, cancer, or serious heart, lung, kidney, or liver problems.

This early-phase study tests a stem cell transplant procedure for people with multiple sclerosis whose usual MS medicines have not worked or can’t be tolerated. The goal is to see if this approach can help control MS activity and progression, while checking for safety.
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.
This trial tests a new cell therapy called SYS6020 for people with multiple sclerosis that has not improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can slow or stop the disease and improve symptoms.
This study tests whether a donor bone marrow transplant (allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation) can stop or slow the progression of primary progressive multiple sclerosis. It is for people with worsening symptoms who have not responded to other treatments.
This study tests whether stem cells from donated fat tissue can slow down primary progressive multiple sclerosis. You would receive a single injection of the cells into your spinal fluid and be followed for up to 2 years.
This study looks at how well different treatments, including bone marrow transplant, alemtuzumab, ocrelizumab, and ofatumumab, work for people with relapsing-remitting MS who have active disease. It will help doctors understand which therapy might slow disease progression best.
