Primary progressive multiple sclerosis

This phase 3 trial tests whether rituximab, a cheaper drug, works as well as ocrelizumab for active multiple sclerosis. About 600 adults with relapsing or progressive MS will receive one of the two drugs. The main goal is to see if rituximab can prevent new brain lesions as effec…

This study tests the long-term safety of the drug tolebrutinib in 2,500 adults with relapsing or progressive multiple sclerosis. Participants previously took part in earlier trials and will continue taking tolebrutinib or a placebo for up to several years. The goal is to see if t…

This early-stage trial is testing a new way to give ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) for multiple sclerosis — as a simple shot under the skin instead of a long IV infusion. About 75 adults with MS will receive increasing doses to see if the new form is safe and tolerable. If it works, it co…

This study compares two versions of the drug ocrelizumab given as a shot under the skin in people with multiple sclerosis. The goal is to see if the new test version works the same as the current one. About 182 participants with relapsing or primary progressive MS will take part.

This Phase 3 trial is testing whether a higher dose of the drug ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) can better slow disability progression in people with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). About 769 adults with PPMS are receiving either the standard approved dose or a higher dose b…

This phase 3 trial compares the experimental drug frexalimab to the approved drug teriflunomide in about 1,655 adults with relapsing multiple sclerosis. The main goal is to see if frexalimab reduces the number of relapses more effectively. Participants receive either frexalimab i…

This study tests whether taking a 7-day course of oral antibiotics after hip or knee replacement surgery can prevent joint infections in patients at higher risk due to conditions like obesity, diabetes, or autoimmune disease. About 4,600 participants will receive one of three ant…

This study tests whether stimulating the vagus nerve through the ear, while doing a hand coordination task, can improve motor function in people with multiple sclerosis. Participants will receive either active or sham stimulation during 30-minute sessions over a month, with follo…

This study tests the drug ocrelizumab in 60 Chinese adults with two forms of multiple sclerosis (MS): relapsing MS and primary progressive MS. The goal is to see if it reduces relapses and controls disease activity. Participants receive ocrelizumab infusions, and researchers trac…

This early-phase study tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy in 9 people with autoimmune diseases that have not responded well to standard treatments. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and attack faulty immune cells. The main goal is to check safety an…

This study aimed to test a new treatment called CABA-201, a CAR T-cell therapy made from a patient's own immune cells, for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The goal was to see if it was safe and could control the disease by targeting and resetting the immune system. However, …

This phase 3 trial compares two drugs for primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), a form of MS that steadily worsens. About 985 adults with PPMS will receive either daily oral fenebrutinib or intravenous ocrelizumab (plus matching placebos) to see which better delays disab…

This early-stage trial tests clonal fetal mesenchymal stem cells (cfMSCs) in 100 people with severe immune-related disorders or tissue damage. The goal is to see if the cells are safe and can reduce symptoms. Participants have no other treatment options left.

This phase 3 trial tests whether the oral drug masitinib can slow disability worsening in people with progressive multiple sclerosis who do not have relapses. About 800 participants will receive either masitinib or a placebo for 96 weeks. The main goal is to see if masitinib dela…

This study tests whether N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), a supplement, can protect the brain in people with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). About 98 adults with primary or secondary progressive MS will receive either NAC or a placebo for 15 months. Researchers will measure brain sh…

This phase 3 trial tests whether ocrelizumab (Ocrevus) can slow disability progression in adults with primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS). Over 1,000 participants receive either the drug or a placebo. The main goal is to see if the drug delays worsening of hand function…

This study aimed to test whether stem cells from amniotic fluid, injected into the spinal fluid, could safely help people with progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). The trial was designed for adults aged 18–60 with primary or secondary progressive MS. However, the study was withdr…

This program offers early access to an experimental drug called CNM-Au8 for up to 25 adults with multiple sclerosis (MS). It is designed for people who have no other treatment options. The goal is to provide the drug while researchers continue to study its safety and effectivenes…

This trial tests whether custom-designed sensorimotor insoles, worn daily for six months, can improve balance and walking in people with multiple sclerosis. Fifty adults with MS (mild to moderate disability) will be randomly assigned to receive the insoles or continue their usual…

This study aims to create a tool that predicts which patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, or polymyalgia rheumatica) will develop serious side effects from long-term steroid use. Researchers will collect routine medical data—such a…

This registry enrolls up to 1,000 women aged 12–55 with rheumatic or autoimmune diseases who are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Researchers will collect data from medical records and patient surveys to study pregnancy outcomes, disease activity, and medication use. No experiment…

This study looks at immune cells from people with autoimmune diseases (like lupus), people with infections, and healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ and what makes them attack the body in autoimmune conditions. The study involves blood and bon…
